Arizona Wildcats quarterback Matt Scott is listed as probable on the team’s injury report, released Thursday afternoon.
Scott missed last Saturday’s home game against Colorado because of a concussion suffered a week earlier at UCLA. His replacement, B.J. Denker, was efficient in the 56-31 victory over the Buffaloes.
Utah’s defense, which allows 23.2 points and 346.3 yards per game, is much more stout than Colorado’s, though.
Elsewhere on the injury report:
–Fullback/defensive end Taimi Tutogi, who has missed the past two games because of a neck injury suffered in practice, is probable.
–Safety Jourdon Grandon, who missed last week’s game because of a concussion, is probable.
–Offensive guard Chris Putton is still doubtful because of a concussion. He missed last week’s game. True freshman Cayman Bundage started in his place, and UA rotated him, Trace Biskin and Shane Zink at the guard spots.
-–Linebacker Hank Hobson is out. He suffered a neck injury at UCLA on Nov. 3 and was hospitalized in Los Angeles overnight.
–Backup true freshman safety Wayne Capers, also a special teams players, is out because of illness.
Arizona is likely to seek a medical hardship for wide receiver Terrence Miller, who has played in only four games and is out because of an ankle injury.
