Head coach Jim Mora has kept his cards close to the vest when it came to injuries this season, especially with quarterback Josh Rosen, but the head coach admitted Monday that the star sophomore is indeed battling a right shoulder injury (not news), specifically what seems to be a nerve problem in his shoulder (should be news).

With the bye week ahead, Rosen has a few extra days to get treatment before UCLA travels to Colorado next week, but if he can’t go, then the Bruins are plenty confident in their record-setting backup Mike Fafaul.

More on Rosen’s shoulder and Fafaul’s mindset.
