SALT LAKE CITY -- Hours after coach Kyle Whittingham said No. 24 Utah didnt sustain any season-ending injuries during its loss California, the Utes found out three-year starting center J.J. Dielman will miss the rest of the season due to a lower leg injury.Whittingham said several players were having MRIs on Monday to determine the severity of their injuries. Dielman clearly got bad news as the school said he was out in a release Monday afternoon.He joins former starting defensive end Kylie Fitts and tight end Siale Fakailoatonga on the sideline for the rest of the season with injuries.Utah is coming off its first loss, but it may have bigger problems in the quest for a Pac-12 title. The Utes have been ravaged by injuries at receiver, offensive line, running back, defensive line and in the secondary.Id be here for a half hour if we start talking about all the injuries, Whittingham said.Former walk-on Lo Falemaka is next in line on the depth chart, but Utah did not make the junior available to media Monday. He had a slow start with a pair of bad plays when he entered the game last week, but quarterback Troy Williams said they laughed it off.He told me, `Hey man, I just had to get my jitters out real quick, Williams said. I told him I understand fully. We have a great team, great guys all around. Next guy just has to step up and take advantage of his opportunity.Utah lost its No. 1 receiver Tim Patrick, starting cornerback Reggie Porter and Dielman during Saturdays game. Patrick said he expects to play this week.Whittingham and Utah give little details about injuries, so Porters status is unknown. He did mention that receiver Kyle Fulks had to leave the game last week and both running back Troy McCormick and receiver Tyrone Smith are both banged up.First-team All-Pac-12 defensive line Lowell Lotulelei missed last game after suffering a shoulder injury the previous week against USC.Starting slot receiver Cory Butler-Byrd didnt travel to California and Whittingham said it was a physical issue. The coach hopes he can play against Arizona.Theres about a dozen guys whos in that category, Whittingham said.Sophomore receiver Raelon Singleton had his best game with career highs in receptions (7) and yards (98) as the No. 1 option in the pass game after Patrick went down. Williams said he confident in all his receivers, but Patrick is No. 32 in the country with 429 receiving yards and is tied for No. 12 with five touchdown catches. The Utes didnt have a single receiver that caught five touchdowns in all of 2015.Utah had already lost senior running back Joe Williams to retirement due to lingering injuries. Whittingham announced that sophomore Armand Shyne has been promoted to starting running back over Zach Moss after he rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns against Cal.The Utes (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) arent panicking despite the plethora of injuries. The goal of winning the conference title is still attainable as No. 21 Colorado (4-1, 2-1) is the lone Pac-12 South team without a conference loss. The Buffaloes host Utah in the regular-season finale. Whittingham doesnt believe anyone in the conference will go undefeated and said a two-loss team will likely win the title.Its easy to let yourself fall into that, like, `Why us? Utah safety Chase Hansen said. But then you realize, everyones banged up. You look at Arizona and they have the same thing going on with them.Honestly, it feels like it happens every year. So theres no point in being surprised. You just have got to be ready. Next guy up. ... No excuses, thats a team motto. Tucker Barnhart Jersey .

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Despite a four-game losing streak and a disappearing offense, Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the New York Jets starting quarterback for at least another game.Fitz will be back next week, coach Todd Bowles said after a 28-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday at University of Phoenix Stadium.Bowles pulled Fitzpatrick with 8:20 remaining in the game and the Jets trailing 28-3. It was the first time in 22 games as the Jets starter that Fitzpatrick was removed for performance. Backup Geno Smith finished the game.The Jets (1-5) return home to face the slumping Baltimore Ravens (3-3), who have dropped three straight, on Sunday. The Jets have scored only three touchdowns in the past four games, and one of them was a fluke fumble return.Explaining the decision to insert Smith, Bowles said he wanted to get him some reps. He used a baseball analogy and said he was simply inserting a relief pitcher.Its not that I have no confidence in Geno, Bowles said. We have two quarterbacks that can play right now. Fitz is our starter. Anybody back there wouldve been under duress today.Fitzpatricks last pass was a red zone interception at the end of the third quarter. It was his 11th interception of the season and his fourth in the red zone. He completed only 16 of 31 passes for 174 yards. The Jets managed only 230 yards and converted only two of 13 attempts on third down.It definitely wasnt Fitzs fault, Bowles said. He barely had time to throw. Anybody you put back there wouldve had problems.After Fitzpatricks interception, Smith flung his baseball cap, paced anxiously on the sideline and threw a cup of ice on the field.dddddddddddd. He appeared upset that he wasnt playing.Just frustration, he said. Were not putting up points. Were not winning the game. Our record isnt what we thought it would be or what we think we are.Smith completed his first four passes, but his only series ended with a sack and an interception.Commenting on Bowles decision to stick with Fitzpatrick, Smith said, As a competitor, I want to play at all times. I think you guys know that. I cant reiterate that enough. Its not about me and never has been. Were 1-and-whatever, and we have to pull ourselves out of a hole. No matter who it is, no matter how we spark this thing, we have to figure out a way to get some wins.Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, an outspoken Fitzpatrick supporter, took the blame for the interception and said he ran the wrong route.Ryan read it right, and he threw the pick, but its my pick, he said. Interceptions are on everyone.Fitzpatrick said he didnt want to be removed, but he promised to keep a positive outlook. Later, he stated why he believes he should remain the quarterback.Were sitting at 1-5, so theres obviously stuff that needs to change, he said. I would love to be part of that change, trying to get it headed in the right direction. ... Ive dealt with plenty of adversity in my life.I just think the biggest thing for a quarterback is those guys in the huddle, when they look at you, have to be confident. I think I have that. You can go ahead in the locker room and ask them all if you want. ' ' '
