Dorian Thompson-Robinson receives finger injury during UCLA Football Practice

UCLA football received some concerning news this week with starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson sustaining a finger injury during Tuesday's practice.

The injury occurred during a non-contact drill, and Thompson-Robinson was reportedly in pain and unable to grip the ball properly. He was immediately taken to the UCLA medical center for further evaluation.

The severity of the injury is still unknown, and Thompson-Robinson's status for the upcoming season is uncertain. The Bruins are scheduled to open their season on September 3rd, and Thompson-Robinson was expected to be a key part of their offense.

Thompson-Robinson is a redshirt senior and has been UCLA's starting quarterback for the past three seasons. He has thrown for over 6,000 yards and 49 touchdowns in his career. He is also a threat on the ground, having rushed for over 1,000 yards and 18 touchdowns.

If Thompson-Robinson is unable to play, the Bruins will likely turn to redshirt sophomore Ethan Garbers to start at quarterback. Garbers has appeared in 11 games over the past two seasons, throwing for 464 yards and three touchdowns.

The Bruins are hoping that Thompson-Robinson's injury is not serious and that he will be able to return to the field soon. However, they are also preparing for the possibility that he will miss the start of the season.
