Veteran Colorado football safety Shilo Sanders underwent surgery after sustaining a forearm injury during the Buffs’ loss to Nebraska, according to a social media post from his father and CU head coach Deion Sanders.
Coach Prime hasn’t announced a timetable for his son’s return, but it’s likely safe to assume Colorado will be without Shilo in Week 3 against Colorado State.
Shilo Sanders left Saturday’s game in Lincoln early after attempting to tackle Nebraska Cornhuskers running back Dante Dowdell. The sixth-year defensive back soon entered the locker room and was later seen wearing a sling on his right arm.
Sophomore Carter Stoutmire, a converted cornerback, stepped in at safety against the Cornhuskers and recorded five total tackles. Other replacement options for Shilo Sanders include Savion Riley, Herman Smith III and Ben Finneseth.
