Wilton Speight gripped a football in his right hand Monday morning and made an underhanded flip to Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
The motion simulated a snap but was also a metaphor for the way things unfolded during UCLA’s season-opening loss to Cincinnati on Saturday, when Speight handed the quarterback duties to Thompson-Robinson in the second quarter after suffering a back injury.
Two days later, Speight’s participation during the 20-minute portion of practice that was open to reporters was limited to tossing his teammates balls and offering encouragement.
UCLA coach Chip Kelly said Speight’s injury was “nothing serious” but remained unsure of his status for the Bruins’ game at No.
