“They’ve progressed,” answered Riley, asked about the duo’s status. “I expect them to be available on Saturday.”
On the season thus far, Williams has caught 26 passes for 493 receiving yards and four touchdowns. On the other hand, Gentry has accumulated 52 total tackles and one sack, one forced fumble and one interception.
Solid numbers. Having both back in the fold will be nice for Lincoln Riley and company. The UCLA Bruins are enjoying a nice season, but the Trojans will look to establish themselves as the dominant team in the Pac-12 once again with a victory.
Healthy Jordan Addison ready to show he’s ‘back’ this week against UCLA
Meanwhile, a healthy Jordan Addison is also ready to show his stuff again in a pivotal showdown with No. 16 UCLA this weekend.
Addison suffered a leg injury that sidelined him against Arizona and California recently, but he returned last week in a win over Colorado. He didn’t impact the game much but plans to change that this week against the Bruins.
“I feel like I’m back,” Addison told reporters on Tuesday. “I’m going to show y’all this week, though.”

The former Pittsburgh star and reigning Biletnikoff Award winner tallied just one catch for two yards in the win over the Buffaloes.
Obviously he’ll hope to make a bigger impact in a vital Pac-12 showdown with conference title game — and College Football Playoff — implications. Getting a chance to shake the rust off last week was a real positive.
“It felt good just to touch the ball again,” Addison said. “My family was in the stands, so that’s always a good thing to let them know that I’m OK and back out there ready to play.”
So far this season for the Trojans Addison has racked up 40 catches for 587 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s also run the ball three times for 20 yards.
