UCLA hopes to have a number of key players back on the field for Saturday’s Week 2 game against Alabama State.

Receivers Kam Brown and Logan Loya, who both missed last week’s opener, have steadily participated in more periods of practice this week, Bruins coach Chip Kelly said before Wednesday’s practice.

Kelly said a list from the trainer dictates what an injured player can and cannot do in practice on any given day.

“If they’re available (to practice), we’ll see what they can put themselves through. We’ll make all our assessments on Friday,” Kelly said about their availability.

Tight end Michael Ezeike is in a similar situation after an early exit from the 45-17 win over Bowling Green. Fellow tight end Hudson Habermehl also left early but returned to practice immediately this week, while Ezeike did not participate Monday.

Ezeike has been dressed and a participant in the last two practices.
