BERKELEY — Quarterback Davis Webb will begin Friday night when Cal has Oregon, yet the status of wide collector Chad Hansen remainsl "everyday," mentor Sonny Dykes said Tuesday.
Webb, who harmed his thumb in the Bears' last diversion (Oct. 8 at Oregon State), honed Sunday and Monday. "He looks great," Dykes said. "I don't see any waiting impact by any stretch of the imagination."
"My hand feels great," said Webb, who skipped workouts a week ago while Cal was on a bye.
Hansen, who got 59 goes in six recreations before spraining his lower leg in the final quarter against Oregon State, rehearsed on a restricted premise Monday yet stays at not as much as full quality.
"We'll sort of perceive how he reacts," Dykes said. "I believe he has a chance to play. He likely will play. I simply don't know how much. I'm not certain how successful he'll be."

"We've had sort of an odd timetable," Dykes said.
It's going to end up additionally difficult, even with a home diversion Friday. The Bears then are back at it six days after the fact with a Thursday street diversion versus USC. Figure continuous mid-terms, and Dykes is not cheerful about the way the Pac-12 treated his group.
"That is hard for us," he said. "I'm not a defender of the mid-week diversions. It doesn't sound good to me. We have too great of an item in the alliance to do the things we do now and then and minimize ourselves. In any case, they didn't ask me."
* Cal hold cautious handle Luc Bequette experienced ACL surgery and is accomplished for the season, Dykes said.
