Dallan Hayden, Chidozie Nwankwo injury updates: Deion Sanders reveals latest on Colorado playmakers

During his press conference on Tuesday, Deion Sanders provided injury updates on four Buffaloes, including the statuses of Chidozie Nwankwo and Dallan Hayden.

Sanders shared the news on that quartet for Colorado with the media earlier today. He began with Nwankwo who is in their thoughts after injuring what they believed to be his AC joint following the game at Nebraska on Saturday.

“Chidozie? We’re praying for him that he can make it back,” said Sanders.

Nwankwo, the transfer from Houston, had posted three tackles and a sack, which is one of just two total for their defense so far this season, through his pair of appearances with Colorado.

Sanders then included Hayden who the Buffs expect to be out this weekend at Colorado State.

“Hayden? I think he’s out,” Sanders said. “Yeah – I think he’s out this week.”

Hayden, who transferred in from Ohio State, is their leading rusher through their two games so far. He has totaled 52 yards on his 14 carries while also catching three balls for 41 yards. That included five carries for 32 yards against the Cornhuskers.

Amongst those updates, Coach Prime also provided the latest on Isaiah Hardge and LaVonta Bentley.

“I don’t know if Hardge is going to play this week,” Sanders noted.

“Bentley? He practiced today. He’s getting it together. He’s still limping a little bit,” added Sanders. “Probably give him tomorrow off because we know what we’re going to get from him on Saturday.”

This doesn’t include the injury to Shilo Sanders. He is set to be out for the next two to three weeks following his arm surgery.

Some of these players have a few more days to get healthy before Colorado kicks off from Fort Collins. However, it sounds like several are set to be absent for the team against the Rams.

“You know, I like to see one good day of practice before we put those guys out there,” Sanders said.

“Who else, who else…That’s it. I think that’s it,” said Sanders. “I may have forgotten one or two guys but I feel like that’s it.”
