Several USC players will return from injuries against UCLA
USC’s Tre Madden slips away from Washington’s Budda Baker on Oct. 8.
USC will have improved depth at several positions when the Trojans play UCLA on Saturday at the Coliseum.
Tailback Tre Madden, offensive lineman Viane Talamaivao and safety Marvell Tell will be available after recovering from injuries, interim coach Clay Helton said Tuesday.
Madden, a fifth-year senior, has been sidelined because of a knee injury. He could be used in spot situations against the Bruins.
Talamaivao, a sophomore who starts at guard, suffered a knee injury against Colorado and sat out last week’s loss against Oregon. Chris Brown started in his place.
Tell, a freshman, suffered a broken collarbone early in the season.
Receiver Isaac Whitney, who is coming back from a broken collarbone, went through non-contact drills Tuesday.
