Colorado vs BYU Injury Report: Deion Sanders and Kalani Sitake Get Big Relief With Week 5 Pregame Update

Colorado is feeling the pinch without Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. The team had already lowered expectations after losing CFB’s most electric duo, and now after 4 games, the Buffs are still searching for consistency. They’ve flipped between wins and losses against Delaware, Georgia Tech, Houston, and Wyoming. And the challenges keep coming: Saturday night brings a tough test against undefeated BYU. So, the big question is whether the team is at full strength? Not quite. The injury list still remains. But the pregame update brings some relief for Deion Sanders.

Colorado enters the BYU game with a slimmer injury list than last week: 14 players out, compared to 21 previously. Key names are missing, including CB RJ Johnson, S Terrance Love, CB Noah King, RB DeKalon Taylor, and OL Phillip Houston. Defensive standouts Samuel Okunlola, Tawfiq Thomas, and Gavriel Lightfoot are also sidelined. Anquin Barnes Jr. is out for the first half, while Mana Taimani and WR Terrell Timmons Jr. are game-time decisions. So, the Buffs are banged up, but the team is ready to fight through it.

BYU’s injury report brings good news for Kalani Sitake. Last week, 10 players were sidelined. This week, just four remain out. Key names include CB Jonathan Kabeya, VR Jojo Phillips, RB Sione Moa, and B Choé Bryant-Strother. That’s a big relief for the Cougars as they prepare to face Colorado.
