Sources – Utah QB Cam Rising Game Time Decision vs. Arizona

Utah quarterback Cam Rising, who has been plagued by injuries the past two years, is expected to make another decision against Arizona on Saturday night, sources told ESPN.

Rising has missed No. 10 Utah’s past two games after an injury to his throwing hand suffered against Baylor on September 7. He missed all of last season after suffering an ACL tear in the Rose Bowl following the 2022 season.

Rising’s status will undergo the same evaluation process with the Utah staff as it did before the Oklahoma State game last week. He throws the ball before play, and his ability to put spin and speed on the ball will determine whether he will play, according to sources.

With Rising struggling to recover and get back on the field, one factor that could influence the decision is the chance of getting him back to full health in two weeks. Utah has a bye before they play Arizona State on Oct. 11.

Rising practiced this week but was limited as the staff tried to rest his finger.

Freshman Isaac Wilson has started the past two weeks, leading the Utes to wins over Utah State in Logan and in Stillwater against the Cowboys.

Wilson has shown both moments of promise and interspersed them with moments that illuminated his youth. He threw for 207 yards on 17-of-29 passing against Oklahoma State. He also threw two interceptions. He threw for three touchdowns and 239 yards against Utah State.
