SALT LAKE CITY — The injury bug has hit hard in 2016.
Midway through the season, Utah has already sustained three season-ending injuries, including tight end Siale Fakailoatonga, defensive end Kylie Fitts and center J.J. Dielman — all starters at their respective positions. Prior to the season start, Utah lost center Hiva Lutui, who was projected to be the team’s starter at the position before being forced to retire due to injury.
Also expected to miss the remainder of the season is starting running back Armand Shyne, who sustained an apparent knee injury late in the game Saturday against Arizona.
