Branden Carlson - Still out Saturday Carlson (abdomen) remains out for Saturday's game against USC, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Carlson was aiming for a return 2-to-3 weeks after undergoing an appendectomy earlier in the month. He's entering the early portion of that window but won't make his return Saturday against USC. The next chance for the big man to retake the floor comes Tuesday versus Washington State.

Impact Carlson has been a huge piece for the Utes down low this season, racking up 13.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, so his absence will certainly be felt. Assuming the issue is relatively minor, he could be back in the mix as soon as Thursday against Arizona State.
