TUCSON – Arizona Wildcats tailback Nick Wilson is questionable for Saturday’s game against UCLA because of an ankle injury.
This is the second week in a row that Wilson has been listed as questionable. He sat out against Washington last Saturday after getting hurt in the first quarter the previous week against Hawaii.
The situation at running back became somewhat dire when Wilson’s replacement, freshman J.J. Taylor, suffered a broken ankle against UW that will sideline him indefinitely. Arizona has given receiver Samajie Grant some reps at tailback this week to provide reinforcements. Zach Green and Tyrell Johnson likely will comprise the top pairing if Wilson can’t play.
