Travis Hunter’s Aggravated Shoulder Injury Overshadows Colorado’s Victory Over Arizona
Travis Hunter, the standout two-way star for the Colorado Buffaloes, found himself back on the injury list after aggravating a shoulder injury during Colorado's dominant 34-7 win over Arizona. The injury, initially sustained in the previous game against Kansas State, forced Hunter out of the game for the second week in a row. With Colorado holding a comfortable 28-7 lead at halftime, the coaching staff opted to take precautionary measures, pulling Hunter from the game to prevent further damage.

Hunter's impact on the field is undeniable, but the injury has clearly started to limit his contributions. In the Arizona matchup, he managed just two catches for 17 yards and recorded a tackle before leaving the game. His role as a critical piece of the Buffaloes' offense and defense highlights how much his presence is missed when sidelined. Even though Hunter's injury cut his game short, Colorado’s defense and quarterback Shedeur Sanders ensured the team secured a decisive win without needing to rely heavily on their injured star.
Hunter has been a Heisman Trophy contender throughout the season, thanks in large part to his versatility, having played an astounding 739 snaps over seven games. His ability to excel on both sides of the ball—at wide receiver and cornerback—has made him a cornerstone of Colorado’s success. However, with the injury limiting his playtime in recent games, including this matchup, his Heisman chances may be impacted.
The decision to pull Hunter was made out of caution, and it’s unclear when he will return to full strength. For now, the Buffaloes sit at 5-2, well-positioned for a strong season, but Hunter’s health remains a crucial factor for their future success.
