Colorado safety Shilo Sanders will miss two-to-three weeks with a broken arm, according to his father and head coach Deion Sanders. Shilo, who led the team in tackles last season, underwent surgery on Sunday and expressed a desire to play in Saturday’s game against Colorado State. Running back Dallan Hayden will also miss the game due to a lower leg injury. Deion Sanders addressed rumors that he instructed the Colorado band not to play the fight song when his son Shedeur scores, calling them “idiotic” and false. Colorado released a statement clarifying that the band will play Shedeur’s song briefly before switching to the fight song after a touchdown. Deion Sanders also commented on claims of a fan using a racial slur at the team during the Nebraska game, stating he was not aware of the incident but recognizing the seriousness of such allegations. Buffaloes director of player personnel Corey Phillips posted about the incident on social media, condemning the use of the racial slur. Despite these challenges, Phillips expressed his continued belief in the team. The team will face Colorado State without key players, but remains focused on their upcoming game as they navigate through injuries and off-field issues.
