RB Steven Manfro leaves No. 11 UCLA's practice on cart after suffering apparent knee injury

Published February 05, 2015

UCLA running back Steven Manfro has left the practice field on a cart after apparently injuring his knee.

Coach Jim Mora says Manfro's injury "looked pretty serious to me."

Manfro is a part of the No. 11 Bruins' three-tailback rotation along with Paul Perkins and Jordon James. The junior also returned kickoffs last season.

Manfro had two carries for no gain in the Bruins' season opener at Virginia, and he dropped two passes.

He will undergo an MRI exam to determine the extent of his injury, Mora says.

Freshman Nate Starks is likely to assume an increased role if Manfro's injury is significant.

UCLA (1-0) fell four spots in the AP Top 25 after its 28-20 victory last weekend. The Bruins host Memphis at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night.
