More details about Travis Hunter's injury

After sustaining the injury against the Colorado State Rams, Travis Hunter was moved to the local hospital, according to ESPN's Quint Kessenich. Further evaluations were carried out on the two-way star.

Following the game, Deion Sanders confirmed that Hunter would be out of action for a few weeks.

Sanders said he awaits further updates but is quite certain the two-way star won't be available for an extended period of time.

According to Coach Prime, Hunter is a dedicated player who will want to be back within two weeks. However, he reiterated that the player's health is more important than the game.

Travis Hunter has been an important aspect of Deion Sanders' setup at Colorado. Along with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, he has been instrumental in the Buffaloes' unbeaten start to the season. As a two-way player, he contributes to the team's offense as well as its defense.

Prior to last night's game, Hunter had amassed 183 snaps on defense and 157 snaps on offense. He has 14 catches for 192 yards in his role as a wide receiver.

On the other hand, on defense, he's had five tackles, three pass breakups, and one interception. Furthermore, he allowed just three receptions on 10 targets.

Sanders and his staff now have the task of replacing Hunter as a wide receiver and as a cornerback.

Hunter's swift return to action will be crucial for Colorado's title contention this season.
