Report: UCLA QB Brett Hundley suffers hyperextended elbow, should be OK

For now it looks like UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley is going to be OK.

Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman tweeted early Sunday morning that Hundley suffered a slight hyperextension of his left shoulder and should be fine.

UCLA fans, coaches and players held their collective breath during the first quarter of Saturday night’s win against Texas when Hundley landed awkwardly on his left arm, non-throwing shoulder following an 11-yard run and was forced to come out of the game. He did not return.

Following the game, coach Jim Mora didn’t offer much about the injury and said Hundley would be evaluated when the team returned to UCLA.

Even with Hundley down, however, UCLA prevailed in a 20-17 win against the Longhorns thanks in part to backup quarterback Jerry Neuheisel, who completed 23-of-30 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, including a 33-yard pass for the game-winning score.

We’ll have more on Hundley’s injury as more is learned. The Bruins have a bye before facing Arizona State on Sept. 25.
