Colorado Safety Shilo Sanders leaves the league with an arm injury

LINCOLN, Nebraska – Colorado safety Shilo Sanders left the Buffaloes’ 28-10 loss to Nebraska on Saturday after suffering an arm injury in the first quarter, Colorado coach Deion Sanders said on the game broadcast.

“I think a broken forearm or something, so he’s not coming back at all,” Deion Sanders told NBC.

Shilo Sanders was injured on defense on the Buffaloes’ first drive after colliding with Nebraska running back Dante Dowdell on a tackle to prevent a 13-yard run. Sanders went to the locker room and did not return. No further details on his status or timetable were available in postgame media reports.

Colorado also lost starting linebacker Trevor Woods after he was sent off in the second quarter for a targeted hit on Nebraska receiver Isaiah Neyor.

Nebraska jumped out to a 28-0 first-half lead with freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola throwing for 126 yards and a touchdown and Dowdell scoring two runs. The Huskers defense pressured quarterback Shedeur Sanders, forcing him to four sacks and score a touchdown off an interception.
