Tbhe UCLA Bruins are dealing with injuries to Rico Flores Jr. and Reuben Unije, but will they return to the lineup?
The UCLA Bruins got a big win against Rutgers on Saturday, securing a 35-32 win. Though things began to look a bit bleak for the team, they produced one of their most impressive wins this season, along with one of the most impressive in recent memory.
Last week, DeShaun Foster offered an update on both, stating that Unije had undergone a procedure a couple of weeks prior, and was working his way back to starting. Flores also stated that Flores had not undergone surgery, but was also working his way back to hitting the field. Injury updates: Don’t see WR Rico Flores Jr. or LT Reuben Unije and Ethan Garbers still has his right foot wrapped but looks fine moving.According to LA Times' Ben Bolch, both Flores and Unije were not spotted at practice. This isn't that shocking of an update, but it could mean that both are not going to suit up for Saturday's game.
Without Flores, tight end Maliki Matavao and running back T.J. Harden have emerged as the team's best receivers. Matavao currently has 251 receiving yards through seven games, and Harden currently has 238 receiving yards and one touchdown through seven games.
