Shedeur Sanders sidelined from Colorado finale due to back fracture

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders missed the team’s final game of the college football season after suffering a back fracture. The injury was revealed in a behind-the-scenes video posted on YouTube by Deion Sanders Jr., which documented the team’s season. In the video, Sanders is seen discussing his physical condition with his brother and reveals that he has a fracture in his back. The injury is likely a result of the significant number of times that he was sacked throughout the season. Sanders broke Colorado’s single-season passing record with 3,230 yards and 27 touchdown passes, but was hindered by the injury during the final game. Freshman Ryan Staub started in Sanders’ place and threw for 193 yards and a touchdown, but the Buffaloes ultimately lost to Utah. The team concluded the season with a 4-8 record, and head coach Deion Sanders has expressed plans to address the team’s offensive line in light of the challenges faced by Sanders. Despite the injury, Sanders’ impressive performance throughout the season has drawn attention, and he will likely be a key player for the Buffaloes in future seasons.
