Colorado injury report

The Colorado Buffaloes have three players on the injury report.

“Shilo’s ready,” said Deion Sanders via The Ralphie Report. “He’s practicing. He’s a full go. He has a rubber cast on and doing his thing. I can’t wait to see him back because he and Cam [Silmon-Craig] are unbelievable together.”

In two games this season, Sanders has recorded 11 tackles.

Dayon Hayes, DE

Dayon Hayes is questionable to play due to an undisclosed injury.

Hayes didn't play against UCF and Colorado defensive ends coach Vincent Dancy hinted at him potentially missing this game as well.

“[Hayes’] progressing,” Dancy said. “Right now, he’s still a little gimpy. Looking forward to getting him back.”

Hayes has recorded 16 tackles and two sacks this season.
