Utes Brant Kuithe posts positive message following ACL injuryFollowing an ACL injury, Utah Utes tight end Brant Kuithe is remaining positive on his road to recovery.Author:Cole BagleyPublish date: Oct 14, 2022 4:33 PM EDTAfter experiencing a season-ending injury against Arizona State a few weeks back, Utah tight end Brant Kuithe posted a positive message this week and appears to be on the mend. Following an injury in the first half against ASU in week four, Kuithe was then tended to for more than 20 minutes inside Utah's medical tent. Unfortunately, Kuithe then emerged from the tent with ice on his leg, crutches, and no pads.  As anticipated it was later confirmed that Kuithe had indeed torn his ACL. Now weeks later, the star tight end posted on his Instagram that he is remaining positive and appears to be on the mend. Kuithe shared that he is being taken care of by Dr. Neal Elattrache, an orthopedic surgeon and the head physician for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Rams. “'Be sad. Be mad. Be frustrated. Scream. Cry. Sulk. When you wake up you will think it was just a nightmare only to realize it’s all too real. You will be angry and wish for the day back, the game back THAT play back. But reality gives nothing back and nor should you. Time to move on and focus on doing everything in your power to prepare for surgery, ask all the questions to be sure you understand fully the procedure so that you may visualize it in your subconscious while being operated on and better the chance of it’s success. Then focus on the recovery process day by day by day. It’s a long journey but if you focus on the mini milestones along the way you will find beauty in the struggle of doing simple things that prior to this injury were taken for granted. This will also mean that when you return you will have a new perspective. You will be so appreciative of being able to stand, walk, run that you will train harder than you ever have. You see the belief within you grow with each mini milestone and you will come back a better player for it. Best of luck to you on this journey my brother #mambamentality always.' Thank you to everyone who reached out to me! Also a big thank you to Dr. Neal Elattrache and his team on the exceptional work and hospitality they have shown. This is hard but it’s supposed to be. I’ll be back don’t you worry," Kuithe stated on his Instagram. As Kuithe now works towards a return, the biggest question is whether or not the talented tight end will be back in a Utah uniform or if he'll take his talents to the NFL.Scroll to Continue Read More BREAKING Three-star TE CJ Jacobsen commits to UtahOct 13, 2022 3:55 PM EDT Utes to wear new helmet in honor of Ty Jordan & Aaron Lowe vs USCOct 13, 2022 12:36 PM EDT Utah&apos s linebackers need to be resilient facing USCOct 13, 2022 10:00 AM EDTFollow @bagley_cole Recruiting BREAKING Three-star TE CJ Jacobsen commits to UtahBy Cole BagleyOct 13, 2022 3:55 PM EDTFootball Utes to wear new helmet in honor of Ty Jordan & Aaron Lowe vs USCBy Cole BagleyOct 13, 2022 12:36 PM EDTFootball Utah s linebackers need to be resilient facing USCBy Cole BagleyOct 13, 2022 10:00 AM EDTFootball Bruins soar as Utes drop in latest Pac-12 power rankingsBy FanNation AllUtesOct 11, 2022 7:00 PM EDTFootball What Whittingham said about Utah s matchup with No 7 USCBy FanNation AllUtesOct 11, 2022 10:00 AM EDTFootball Positive & Negative Takes from Ute s loss to UCLA BruinsBy Jared DannOct 10, 2022 5:00 PM EDTFootball No 20 Utah Releases Depth Chart for No 7 USCBy Cole BagleyOct 10, 2022 1:44 PM EDTFootball How to Watch or Stream No 11 Utah Utes vs No 18 UCLABy Cole BagleyOct 8, 2022 1:00 PM EDTLoading…See MoreCLOSECLOSECLOSECLOSE
