Paolo Uggetti, ESPNSep 26, 2023, 02:27 PM ET Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said Tuesday that he’s hoping his son, protective back Shilo Sanders, can play in the upcoming match in between the Buffaloes and USC this weekend after suffering an undisclosed injury in Saturday’s loss to Oregon.In a video released by Shilo’s sibling Deion Sanders Jr. after the loss to Oregon, Shilo is seen coming off the group plane and stating that he was” peeing blood”after getting hit throughout the game. “I got ta go to the ER and
get checked, “Shilo stated in the video.According to Sanders, Shilo was taken to the medical facility after the team went back to Boulder and he’s”doing far better.”Editor’s Picks“He’s giving me everyday updates, trust me, we’re hoping that he heals and he’s playing this weekend, “Deion said.”He’s a valuable part of our secondary and our team. Defensively, he is among the voices on the defense and he plays with a particular physicality that we prefer and we want. “The senior security has 21 solo takes on, a forced fumble
and a pick-six interception up until now this season. Colorado’s defense has actually enabled at least 35 points in 3 of its 4 games this season and lacked cornerback and two-way star Travis Hunter in Eugene.Hunter suffered his own injury against Colorado State two weeks ago, which has diminished the Buffs’secondary. If both Hunter and Shilo are not able to play, the rest of Colorado’s defense will have its hands complete trying to include Heisman-winning quarterback Caleb Williams on Saturday.”He’s a handful,”Deion stated of Williams.” The kid is a playmaker. He makes that group go.”
