Colorado football wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. was taken back to the locker room after suffering an apparent injury in the first half of Saturday’s game against the Kansas State Wildcats and is questionable to return.
Horn was involved early in the game plan, catching three passes for 20 yards, but took a bruising hit on a catch over the middle. The explosive WR came into Saturday second on the team with 23 catches for 327 yards.
If Horn can’t return to the game, we could see more of Drelon and Omarion Miller.
Cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter was also taken to the locker room in the first half with an apparent shoulder injury but returned to the sideline. Hunter is also considered questionable to return, per CU.
Colorado’s offense struggled with its two leading receivers out, meaning offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur must scheme up a new plan of attack as Kansas State leads 14-7 at the half.
The Buffs have had success running the ball in recent weeks but they’ve largely gone with the passing attack so far against K-State. Dallan Hayden is the only running back with a carry, rushing the ball seven times for 11 yards in the first half.
