Anthony Denham injures hammy



Utah wide receiver Anthony Denham will miss some time after suffering a hamstring injury Thursday in practice. Coach Kyle Whittingham said that damage to the hamstring was more severe than originally thought and Denham will likely miss a couple weeks.


A highly-touted JC player, Denham's injury will severely limit his ability to get acclimated quickly and become a part of the rotation early on. Still, if he can get healthy, he's got a load of talent and may yet be a productive member of the Ute receiving corps.
