After being without starting quarterback Sam Jackson for the better part of its season-opening win against North Texas last week, Cal might once again be without its starter under center when Auburn comes to town Saturday.

In his press conference Tuesday, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox said Jackson is “day-to-day”, but was “running around at practice.”

Jackson came out of Cal’s game against North Texas after playing just 18 snaps before suffering an upper body injury. Jackson totaled 33 passing yards and a touchdown after going 3-for-4 passing and running for 18 yards on three carries.

Jackson, a former 4-star QB out of high school, previously played at TCU before joining the Golden Bears this January.

Should Jackson not be able to go Saturday, Auburn still has plenty to prepare for as Cal’s offense fared just fine without him and under the command of NC State transfer Ben Finley, who went 24-for-24 through the air for 279 yards and touchdown.

Wilcox did not provide a timeline for ruling Jackson out.

“We will make that decision when the time is right,” Wilcox said.

Auburn’s visit to Cal kicks off on Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. CT.
