UCLA isn’t the only team facing questions about quarterback availability in the days before coach Chip Kelly’s return to Oregon.
Ducks coach Mario Cristobal announced Monday that star quarterback Justin Herbert had been placed in the concussion protocol, making his status uncertain for the team’s game against the Bruins on Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
Herbert sustained a big hit last weekend while running toward the end zone during Oregon’s loss to Arizona, but Cristobal told reporters Monday he did not know when the injury occurred.
UCLA has been without its starting quarterback since freshman Dorian Thompson-Robinson hurt his shoulder area in the second quarter of the Bruins’ victory over Arizona on Oct.
