BERKELEY, Calif. — California coach Jeff Tedford says star tailback Jahvid Best is resting at home after his scary concussion and there has been no talk about when he could return to the field.

Best landed on the back of his head after a terrifying fall in the end zone on Saturday against Oregon State. He spent the night in the hospital with a concussion and sore back before going home Sunday.
Tedford said Tuesday he hasn’t even talked to the doctors about when Best will be able to play again. He has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Arizona. Cal also has games remaining against Stanford on Nov. 21 and Washington on Dec. 5.
Best has 16 touchdowns and 867 yards rushing this season.
