UCLA wide receiver Mikey Matthews will not return for the 2026 season following recent foot surgery, as announced by head coach Bob Chesney. Matthews, who made four receptions for 88 yards in the season opener against Cal, injured his foot in Week 2 against San Diego State. The surgery halted a promising season for Matthews, who had previously competed in all 12 games last year and demonstrated solid performance since joining the Bruins.
