Utah's Quarterback Cam Rising and Tight End Brant Kuithe Out for the Season Due to Knee Injuries

Injury Report: Utah's Star Players Suffering from Multiple Ligament Tears, Season's Future Hinges on Bryson Barnes' Performance

Utah Utes quarterback, Cam Rising and tight end, Brant Kuithe, will not play this season because of their knee injuries, according to Utah's coach Kyle Whittingham.
Rising suffered a more serious injury than initially expected at the Rose Bowl, tearing his ACL, meniscus, MPFL and MCL which required significant surgery and recovery time.
Though there was optimism about Rising's return this season, Coach Whittingham confirmed that option is no longer considered, hinting Rising and Kuithe might return for the 2024 season.
In the absence of the star players, Utah's performance now hinges on Bryson Barnes, who had an impressive performance against the Southern California Trojans with 14 completed passes, 235 yards, three touchdowns, and 57 rushing yards.
Despite the setbacks, Utah has had a strong start this season with 6 wins and 1 loss, thanks partly to a dual quarterback system featuring Bryson Barnes and Nate Johnson.
