Shilo Sanders ruled out for Colorado-USC game with injury

Colorado safety Shilo Sanders was officially ruled out for the Buffaloes’ game against USC. The son of Deion Sanders went to the hospital after the loss to Oregon last weekend.

Shilo Sanders was ruled doubtful Saturday morning after Coach Prime “prayed” Shilo would be able to suit up against the Trojans.

However, that will not be the case, as revelade right before kickoff.

Colorado is also without two-way star Travis Hunter for the second straight week, depleting the Buffaloes’ secondary.

Sanders said his son was going to be a game time decision earlier this week. However, after Shilo Sanders went to the hospital, that was put into doubt.

In four games this season, Shilo Sanders has 26 total tackle, 21 solo tackles, one forced fumble, one interception and one touchdown, which he scored against Colorado State.

As a member of the Class of 2019, Shilo Sanders was a three-star recruit out of Cedar Hill (Texas) Trinity Christian School, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 69 overall prospect in the state, the No. 57 safety in the class and the No. 584 overall prospect in the class.

Deion Sanders gave an update on Shilo earlier in the week, hoping his son would play. But, Shilo will have to watch from the sideline Saturday.

“He’s doing better,” Sanders said of his son. “We went to the hospital right after we landed. He’s doing much better. We’re praying that he heals and he’s playing this weekend. He’s a valuable part of our secondary and our team defensively.

“(Shilo’s) one of the voices on the defense and he plays with a certain physicality that we desire and we want and he’s given me daily updates trust me, and I’m praying that he can play as a father as well as a coach.”

On the team’s personal vlog run by Deion Sanders Jr., Shilo said he experienced pain after making a tackle in the game against Oregon. He said he landed on his side awkwardly.

In the video, he claimed he was urinating blood.

“I can’t say I didn’t play hard,” Shilo Sanders said. “I’m peeing blood right now. I made a tackle and I landed on my kidney or something. I got to go to the ER to get checked.”
