Bruener Listed As Questionable For UCLA Game
Tight End Injured in Practice
UCLA tight end Mike Bruener is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Bruins. Bruener suffered a lower-body injury in practice with the team on Tuesday.
Bruener is a key part of the Bruins’ offense, so his absence would be a big blow. He has 20 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns this season.
The Bruins are already without tight end Caleb Wilson, who is out for the season with a knee injury.
Impact on the Game
If Bruener is unable to play, the Bruins will be without their top two tight ends. This will likely force the team to rely more on their wide receivers and running backs in the passing game.
The Bruins could also move offensive lineman Michael Alves to tight end, as he has played the position in the past.
The Bruins are hoping that Bruener will be able to play, but they are preparing for the possibility that he will not be available.
