According to sources who spoke to ESPN, Utah quarterback Cam Rising—who has been sidelined by injuries for the previous two years
is once more anticipated to be declared out of the game against Arizona on Saturday night.
Rising sustained a throwing hand injury against Baylor on September 7 and has missed the last two games for No. 10 Utah.
After tearing his ACL in the Rose Bowl after the 2022 season, he was out for the whole 2017 campaign.
Rising's status will be reviewed by the Utah staff in the same manner as it was prior to last week's game against Oklahoma State.
He'll toss the ball before the game, and according to reports, his ability to impart spin and velocity on the ball will determine whether or not he plays.
The possibility of having Rising return totally healthy in two weeks may influence the choice, given his difficult recovery and return to the field.
Prior to their match at Arizona State on October 11, Utah gets a bye.
Rising has been practicing this week, but his practice has been limited as the staff has tried to give his finger a break.
