Slew of CU Buffs dealing with injuries during Arizona week

The Buffs are a little banged up heading into Arizona

The injury bug is finally starting to hit the Colorado Buffaloes, who at 0-4 obviously don’t need any more problems.

On Monday, head coach Karl Dorrell gave updates on a few key players currently dealing with injuries. First up, running back Alex Fontenot is still down with a chest bruise that he suffered during the Air Force game. He is “probably doubtful” for Saturday’s game against Arizona. Safety Isaiah Lewis and wide receiver Chase Sowell, both of whom got banged up against UCLA, are also unlikely to play in Tucson.

Tight end Brady Russell suffered what looked like a severe ankle injury in the UCLA game, but we received some good news when Dorrell said it was a low-grade sprain. Russell is day-to-day, per Dorrell.
