The hits literally keep on coming for the UCLA football team as wide receiver Mossi Johnson adds to the ever-growing list of Bruins that are not only injured, but are done for the season. UCLA may be deep with talent, but that talent is being stretched thin with all these injuries.

That seems to be the way it’s going for UCLA football this season as a converted player who’s helping out with injuries on the defensive side of the ball, gets knocked out for the season himself. Now the Bruins are without one of their prominent receivers and a back-up defensive player.
In total that is four Bruins who are out for the season with injuries. On top of that, Bruin linebacker Jayon Brown and defensive back Marcus Rios are also out for the time being.

Eddie Vanderdoes (knee, ACL tear) – Status: out for season
