Colorado's two-way star, Travis Hunter, was forced to leave the Buffaloes' 31-28 loss to No. 18 Kansas State due to a right shoulder injury. The injury occurred late in the second quarter during a 14-yard reception. Hunter's absence had a significant impact on the game, especially considering the close score.
Hunter's injury was not the only setback for Colorado's receiving corps. Three other Buffs receivers, Jimmy Horn Jr., Omarion Miller, and Terrell Timmons Jr., also suffered injuries during the game. Coach Deion Sanders provided an update on Miller's condition, stating that he was in a walking boot. However, he did not have information on the other injured players.
Sanders emphasized the importance of prioritizing the players' health and safety over the outcome of the game. He acknowledged the significant impact of losing key players like Hunter and Jimmy Horn, but he also praised the efforts of the other players who stepped up in their absence.
The injuries to Colorado's receivers had a noticeable effect on their offensive performance. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders expressed his disappointment over the unfortunate situation but remained optimistic about the team's ability to bounce back.
