Requires more time to recover Dampier (ankle) is feeling better each day but will take more time to assess his health and progression, Joe Coles of Deseret News reports.

Impact At 100 percent, Dampier is Utah's starting quarterback, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports. So, the question becomes whether or not Dampier can fully recover before Utah's next game, currently scheduled for Saturday against Cincinnati. Dampier's last three games saw him log over 800 yards of offense, a 6-2 TD-INT ratio and 10 total touchdowns.

Set for backup duties Byrd Ficklin, and not Devon Dampier, is taking first-team reps with the offense ahead of Saturday's game against Colorado, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact While Dampier will be available, he's set to assume backup duties behind Byrd Ficklin for Saturday's contest. The question can be asked whether Dampier is 100 percent or just healthy enough be available if needed. Ficklin has completed all nine of his pass attempts this season for 138 yards and a touchdown. He's also been very effective with his legs, rushing the ball 17 times for 111 yards and three scores.

Off injury report Dampier (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Impact Dampier is officially good to go for Saturday's game. Both he and backup Byrd Ficklin were out on the field early throwing the ball. Though Dampier is available, it's not confirmed whether he will make the start yet. More on that should be clarified as kickoff approaches.

Spotted in early warmups Dampier (ankle) was spotted in early warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Colorado, Joe Coles of Deseret News reports.

Impact Dampier was seen during early warmups and doesn't appear to have heavy tape on his injured right ankle, which is undoubtedly a positive sign for his availability. The signal-caller has completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 1,375 yards this season while posting a 13:4 TD:INT. If he's available, that'd be a huge boost for Utah's passing attack.

Questionable for Week 9 Dampier (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Impact Just like how Dampier suffered the injury, its nature is also unclear. Since Week 5, he has been on a roll, with over 800 all-purpose yards and exactly 10 touchdowns in a three-week span. With the Utah team squaring off against an injured Colorado side, Dampier has a perfect opportunity to pounce, but only if he can get himself cleared for Week 9.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Dampier is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he said that he doesn't know when he suffered it, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Dampier was 20-for-36 passing for 244 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 24-21 defeat to BYU, and he also had 15 rushes for 64 yards. He appears to be dealing with an injury, but he doesn't sound concerned about any potential absence in the future. "It's week nine, everyone gets banged up at this point, but yeah, I mean it is Monday, so we'll see where the week goes." He should be considered questionable until further updates are given about his health status.

Solid performance in loss Dampier was 20-for-36 passing for 244 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 24-21 defeat to Brigham Young. He also had 15 rushes for 64 yards.

Impact Dampier put together some solid stats in the loss; however, he also missed numerous fourth-down throws which resulted in Utah losing at BYU. His 55.6 percent completion rate was the lowest of this season and he committed his fourth turnover of the year. Dampier remains a high-level fantasy option because of his dual-threat ability. He's averaging 63.1 rushing yards on 11.4 attempts per game. He should continue to be in starting line-ups when Utah hosts Colorado next week.

Huge rushing performance Dampier was 7-for-12 passing for 104 yards during Saturday's 42-10 victory against Arizona State. He also had 10 rushes for 120 yards with three touchdowns.

Impact Dampier became the first Utah quarterback to rush for over 100 yards since 2015. He didn't need to throw the ball much as the Utes dominated the game from start to finish against a depleted Arizona State team. Dampier has been fantastic at Utah with 16 total touchdowns and just three interceptions. In his last two games, Dampier has eight total touchdowns and has been one of the best in the country. Utah has a huge game at BYU next week.
