Utah head football coach Kyle Whittingham gave a promising update for quarterback Cam Rising when he spoke to reporters on Monday.

“He'll be practicing, but he'll have limitations,” Whittingham said, via On3 Florida Gators Senior Writer Nick de la Torre. “That will pretty much be the report for at least a couple of weeks, practicing with limitations, and hopefully some of those limitations start to get lifted as we get deep into camp.

“Today was a good start and we just have to be intelligent about it.”

Cam Rising, a former four-star recruit from Ventura, Calif., revealed he suffered a torn ACL when Utah took on the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Rose Bowl, according to a tweet from 247Sports National College Football Reporter Brandon Marcello. He underwent surgery in January.
