UCLA football Coach Jim Mora thinks Eric Kendricks will play

UCLA Coach Jim Mora isn’t counting out linebacker Eric Kendricks for this week’s game against Colorado.

Kendricks, the Bruins’ leading tackler, suffered a shoulder injury against Oregon Saturday. It was added to the list.

Kendricks’ ankle is still sore from surgery this past summer. His back still aches from a hit he absorbed against Stanford on Oct. 19. Now comes a shoulder injury.

“Eric goes into the training room and it’s like the old Operation game,” Mora said. “He lies there on the table and they just pick him apart.”
