A sad note to the start of Cal Football 2022. Cal DL Brett Johnson was announced to be out for the entire 2022 season.

BERKELEY – Cal's Travers Family Head Football Coach announced Saturday that Brett Johnsonwill miss the 2022 season due to a lower-body injury sustained during a team practice on Thursday. The injury is unrelated to the broken hip that Johnson had surgically repaired after an automobile accident in March of 2021 that caused him to miss all of the 2021 campaign.

"Brett is one of the toughest and most dedicated football players I have ever been around," Wilcox said. "Although this is a difficult situation for him, I am confident that he will return to the field in 2023. He has the unwavering support of all his coaches, teammates and everyone in our football program. It is important for us to rally around each other as a team and respond positively to this adversity."
