UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson jumps back into form after training camp absence After missing eight practices, UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson has returned to camp. He wouldn't say why he was out.

Officially back at practice Thompson-Robinson (undisclosed) has returned to practice, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson retook the field Friday for the first time in a week and a half, but it's a welcome sight given that the season opener is just a pair of weeks away. He should assume his regular duties as the team's starting signal-caller and will look to build on his solid 2020 campaign, during which he tallied 1,120 passing yards, a 12:4 TD:INT ratio and 1,120 passing yards in addition to 55 rushes for another 306 yards and three scores.

Set to return Friday Thompson-Robinson (undisclosed) indicated Wednesday on his Instagram that he has been given the green light to return Friday, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact There seemed to be some growing concern surrounding his status after his absence continued on, but it was indicated earlier in camp that he wouldn't be in doubt for the opener. His return Friday should give him plenty of time to get up to speed before the opener Aug. 28 versus Hawaii.

Still missing from practice Thompson-Robinson (undisclosed) has yet to take the field for fall practice, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson is still expected to be ready by the time the season opener against Hawaii rolls around on Aug. 28, but he's certainly missing out on some valuable fall practice time. The team hasn't divulged the reason behind his absence from practice, but there's still plenty of time remaining for him to get back on the field for the start of the season.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for practice Coach Chip Kelly relayed Wednesday that Thompson-Robinson is "unavailable" for practice at the moment, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson's absence isn't expected to set him back for the regular season, so it's possible this is a COVID-19 issue at the moment, though that was not specified by Kelly. In any event, the signal-caller should be ready to take his place under center when the Bruins take the field for the opener Aug. 28 versus Hawaii.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Tuesday's practice Thompson-Robinson was unavailable for Tuesday's practice per the school, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact UCLA offered no other details beyond Thompson-Robinson being unavailable, making it unclear as to the reason behind his absence. This will be a situation to monitor as UCLA's fall camp progresses.

Healthy for senior season Thompson-Robinson (knee) is healthy and ready to lead the UCLA offense again in 2021, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The senior decided to hold off on entering the NFL Draft and come back for another season with the Bruins. In what was an injury-riddled 2020 season, the quarterback was able to throw for 1120 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 306 yards and three scores in five games.
