Utah quarterback Cam Rising is giving up football — at least for the foreseeable future — because of his struggle to recover from a hand injury early last season.
“I have been advised by two orthopedic surgeons that I will never be able to return to playing football,” Rising wrote in a social media post on Wednesday in which he announced that he “will be forced to medically retire from the game I love.”
Rising added that he will seek a third medical opinion and proceed with recommended surgery and rehab, but stopped short of indicating that he foresees a path to playing again.

Rising played parts of four seasons at Utah between 2020 and 2024.
He passed for 2,493 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2021 and followed that up with 3,034 and 26 TDs in a 2022 season that landed the Utes in the Rose Bowl. But a knee injury in the bowl game sidelined Rising for all of 2023.
The Ventura, California, native’s return in 2024 was shortened against Baylor in the Utes’ second game of the season, when he was pushed across the sideline as he released a throw and ran into a hydration table, appearing to jam his finger on a cooler.

Rising tried to come back a little more than a month later, but struggled in a loss to Arizona State in October in which he was intercepted three times. He did not play again after that.

NHL playoffs: Golden Knights stun Oilers with 0.4 seconds left, with some help from Leon Draisaitl’s stick
The Las Vegas Golden Knights are on the board against the Edmonton Oilers. It took one of the most dramatic games of the NHL playoffs to get there.With time ticking toward overtime in a must-win Game 3, with the Oilers leading 2-0, the Golden Knights got the puck where they needed, in the hands of the player they needed, with the bounce they needed to steal their first win of the series.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt was Reilly Smith with the game-winning goal with 0.4 seconds left, with assists from William Karlsson, Brayden McNabb and, unfortunately, Oilers star Leon Draisaitl, whose stick was in the worst possible place in the worst possible time.The goal was initially waved off with the ref thinking it didn't cross the plane, but replay show it clearly hit the camera inside the goal. The result was a 4-3 Golden […]
Herning mi připomíná Žďár. Malé městečko a jedna ulice, říká Nečas. A na té všichni fanoušci
Herning (Od našeho zpravodaje) - Kvůli zatoulané výstroji sledoval páteční mač proti Švýcarsku jen z tribuny. „A byl jsem víc nervózní, než kdybych hrál. Byl to velký zápas a ty dva body můžeme později v turnaji potřebovat,“ popisoval Martin Nečas. Při závěru duelu mu pak na mobilu pípla zpráva, že jeho hokejová výstroj i s bruslemi je už konečně na letišti v nedalekém Billungu. „Jsem rád, že se našla.“A tak už nic nebrání, aby na mistrovství světa konečně hrál…Martine, jak se po letech oprašuje spolupráce s Filipem Zadinou?Hodně o tom mluvíme mimo led, abychom věděli, kdo kde bude hrát především v útočném pásmu. Pak už spoléháme na instinkt. Samozřejmě se Záďou víme, kdo jak hraje a toho se budeme snažit využít. Michael Špaček je zase dobrý na puku, skvělý bruslař. Tady v Evropě je to jeden z nejlepších centrů a myslím, že by to mohlo klapat.Řešili jste s trenérem, jestli byste nehrál na […]
Astros RHP Lance McCullers says he received death threats aimed at his children after rough start
Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. had a bad start on Saturday. He did not deserve what happened next.After allowing seven earned runs in eight batters faced against the Cincinnati Reds, an emotional McCullers told reporters in his postgame conference that he received death threats on social media aimed specifically at his two children.McCullers' comment:"It's been a tough evening. I understand people are very passionate and people love the Astros and love sports, but threatening to find my kids and murder them is a little bit tough to deal with."So just as a father I think there have been many, many threats over the years aimed at me mostly, and I think actually one or two people from other issues around baseball actually had to go to jail for things like that. But I think bringing kids into the […]
Derrota com um a mais evidência má fase do Vasco em todas as principais vertentes do futebol; leia análise
Na última partida do diretor técnico Felipe Loureiro no comando interino do time, o Vasco viveu mais uma noite para esquecer. Mesmo com um jogador a mais durante cerca de 60 minutos, a equipe, que saiu na frente no placar com Vegetti, cedeu a virada e foi batida pelo Vitória (2 a 1), ontem, no Barradão. Formado na base carioca, Renato Kayzer, estreante pelo Leão, marcou os dois gols dos donos da casa, para dar requintes de crueldade a mais uma atuação decepcionante do cruz-maltino no Brasileiro. Com o resultado, o Vasco permanece com 7 pontos e agora ocupa a zona de rebaixamento à segunda divisão. Durante a breve gestão de Felipe, alçado ao comando após a demissão de Fábio Carille, o time não venceu: foram três derrotas e um empate. Na próxima terça-feira, o cruz-maltino visita o Lanús, em […]
Klíčový souboj v Plzni. Viktoria se popere s Baníkem o druhé místo, má výhodnou pozici
Právě souboj v elitní šestce ligy bude mít skutečný náboj. Druhá Plzeň přivítá třetí Ostravu, nad nímž v tabulce disponuje tříbodovým náskokem. To tři kola před koncem znamená jediné. Pokud Viktoria zvítězí, definitivně si pojistí stříbrnou příčku a s tím spojený postup do druhého předkola Ligy mistrů, jelikož Baník by svého soka pak mohl již maximálně bodově dotáhnout a o konečném pořadí by rozhodovalo lepší postavení po základní části, které hovoří pro Plzeň. Ostrava by v případě svého triumfu nejen zdramatizovala boj o druhý flek, ale zároveň by získala garanci, že už neskončí hůře než třetí. Čtvrtá Sparta by se před ni už vyhoupnout nemohla.V prostřední skupině bude Liberec proti Bohemians dohánět tříbrankové manko. Ve Vršovicích při velkolepé rozlučce klokaní legendy Josefa Jindřiška prohrál 1:4, veterán se dokonce z penalty zapsal mezi střelce a stal se nejstarším autorem gólu v samostatné české lize. Slovan čeká obtížný úkol. Klokany šestkrát […]
