Wilson Avoids Major Injury, Potential Return Date Revealed

Saturday, Sept. 12

"Wilson has a sprained left shoulder, not separated. Expected back for Oregon. Maybe for Fresno State," reported Matthew Piper of the Salt Lake Tribune, citing a "source close to the team."

KSL's Dave Noriega shared the replay of Wilson's injury:

The Pac-12 Networks showed Wilson returning to the sideline at the beginning of the third quarter:

A dual threat who can run as well as pass, Wilson has proved in the first two games of the season that he can be efficient. On the year, he is 33-of-45 for 284 yards through the air while adding another 102 yards rushing.

ESPN's David Lombardi noted the timing of the injury was unfortunate, considering how well Wilson had been playing:

Wilson helped Utah make its way into the AP Top 25 in Week 2, nabbing the No. 24 spot after defeating Michigan 24-17 in the season opener. Now, Utah may have to rely on Oklahoma transfer Kendal Thompson to captain the offense.

Thompson has shown he can be an efficient quarterback and is capable of making some nice plays. He scrambled for a six-yard touchdown run to put Utah up 21-14 in the third quarter and will have to maintain a high level of play if he wants to continue the Utes' ascension among the nation's best teams.
