Former Utah quarterback Cam Rising announced Wednesday that he is medically retiring from football due to a hand injury sustained last season.

Rising made the announcement in a post to X.

“Due to a hand injury I suffered during the Baylor game, I’ve been advised by two orthopedic physicians that I will never be able to return to playing football. I’ll be obtaining a 3rd medical opinion and will undergo the recommended surgery. I will continue to rehab and do all I can to get healthy. In the meantime, I will unfortunately be forced to medically retire from the game I love,” he posted.

The injury occurred in Utah’s second game on Sept. 7, a 23-12 win over Baylor.

Rising injured the finger on his right hand when he was pushed into coolers just off the sideline in the second quarter. He later returned to the bench area with two fingers taped together and wearing street clothes.

He returned Oct. 11 against Arizona State after missing three games. However, he would miss the remaining six games.

Rising missed all of the 2023 season after tearing multiple ligaments and meniscus cartilage in his left knee during a loss to Penn State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2, 2023.

Rising, who left the Utah program in January, led the Utes to back-to-back Pac-12 championships and Rose Bowl appearances during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

He completed 63.0 percent of his passes for 6,127 yards with 53 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 30 games for Utah. He also rushed for 986 yards and 12 scores.

Benches-clearing brawl breaks out after Giants’ Rafael Devers hits early home run off Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland

Tempers flared almost immediately at Coors Field on Tuesday night.The benches cleared and a pretty big brawl broke out in the middle of the infield during the opening inning of the Colorado Rockies’ matchup with the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday after Rafael Devers hit a deep home run early.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe issue, though, appeared to stem from Devers’ reaction to his two-run homer. Devers largely watched the home run leave the park before starting to run, which didn’t sit well with Rockies starter Kyle Freeland. The two started chirping at each other before Devers even reached first base, and then things escalated pretty quickly. Punches were even thrown in the infield at one point as players from both teams rushed into the mess.Officials eventually separated the two teams and got the game under control. Freeland was ejected, as were Giants players […]

Longe de comandar projetos vitoriosos, o substituto de Cuca no Atlético-MG, na visão do ex-jogador, precisa mostrar uma mudança de postura. Além de reprovar o “falatório” recente, o tetracampeão do mundo quis contestar o prestígio do profissional dentro do futebol brasileiro, já que existe uma procura constante pelos serviços do argentino. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEAnteriormente, Sampaoli dirigiu o Atlético-MG em 45 partidas e somou 25 vitórias, nove empates e 10 derrotas.

Week 1 may look easy by just taking the strongest team with the easiest opponent and worrying about Week 2 later. But things rarely seem to work out very well when doing that. Look at last year if you need a refresher. A lot of survivor pool entrants saw an easy win with an 8-point favorite in Cincinnati against visiting New England.
