According to Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Daily News, UCLA head coach Chip Kelly announced today before practice that running back Soso Jamabo and linebacker Jaelan Phillips are both out for the season with head injuries. While the offense seems to be ticking just fine in Jamabo’s absence, the defense will need to keep moving forward without Phillips.
Both players are still eligible to redshirt under the modified NCAA redshirt rule implemented for the 2018 season, which allows a player to appear in up to four games and still retain their redshirt status.
