Underwent offseason surgery Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Wednesday that Rising underwent knee surgery this offseason but should still be ready for the 2023 season opener, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Trib...

Impact Rising dealt with a lingering knee issue over the second half of the season due to an injury he sustained versus USC in mid-October. However, the junior signal-caller only missed one game due to this issue and returned for the final six games of the season. He was then forced out with an unspecified lower-body injury during the loss to Penn State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2. While it was never confirmed whether this was related to his previous knee issue, this offseason procedure should help clear things up heading into the 2023 season opener versus Florida on Sept. 2. Either way, it will still be worth monitoring the quarterback's status throughout spring ball and into summer practice sessions.

Won't return during Rose Bowl Rising is in street clothes on Utah's sideline and will not return to Monday's Rose Bowl game against Penn State, Josh Furlong of KSL.com reports.

Impact Rising went to the locker room with an unspecified lower-body injury during the third quarter before eventually emerging without his jersey or pads on in the fourth quarter. This will mark the second time in as many seasons that the junior signal-caller has been forced out of the Rose Bowl after he was similarly forced out during last year's historic 48-45 loss to Ohio State. Bryson Barnes should now be set to finish out the remainder of Monday's game, though he'll have to overcome a 35-14 deficit with less than a quarter remaining.

Exits with injury versus Penn State Rising was forced out with an apparent lower-body injury during Monday's Rose Bowl against Penn State, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Rising had to be assisted off the field after he was hit hard by multiple Nittany Lions on a scramble in the third quarter, per Newman. He was then taken to the medical tent on Utah's sideline before walking under his own power to the locker room, according to Ashley Adamson of the Pac-12 Network. While the specifics of his issue are still unclear, the second-year starter previously dealt with a left knee injury that kept him sidelined for one game versus Washington State in late October. With Rising's return up in the air, sophomore Bryson Barnes, who went 17-for-27 passing for 175 yards and a touchdown to go along with eight rushes for 51 yards while filling in against the Cougars, has stepped back in under center for the Utes, according to Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star.
