Isaac Wilson injury update: What happened to Utah QB?

Wilson picked up his knee injury in the third quarter of Utah's Week 13 defeat against Iowa State on Saturday. He was tackled from behind by a Cyclones defender, who wrapped up the quarterback's lower leg, taking him to the ground.

The Iowa State defender rolled and twisted Wilson’s leg, and the Utah star was visibly in pain. The Utes signal-caller headed toward the medical tent before exiting the game.

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham spoke to reporters after the matchup and offered an update on what caused Wilson's injury.

“The initial tackle was not what caused it,” Whittingham said. “I think it was the rollover. It was the finish of the tackle; however you want to term that, that’s what it was.”

Unfortunately for Utes fans, it appears that Wilson will not play in Utah's final game of the 2024 season.
