UCLA football: Defensive lineman Eli Ankou to miss four weeks
UCLA received good news on the injury front, as nose tackle Eli Ankou is expected to miss only four weeks because of a knee injury.
Ankou was injured during practice Monday. But an MRI revealed only minimal damage. He was scheduled to undergo minor surgery Thursday and should be back by October.
Ankou, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound redshirt freshman, is expected to provide depth on the defensive front.
