The Colorado Buffaloes (4-2) and Arizona Wildcats (3-3) are set to compete in a Week 8 game on Saturday. Arizona hosts Colorado for the game at 4 p.m. EDT. With this being a kid mid-season game, the injury report for both teams can have a lasting impact on the season.

Colorado's three-game winning streak ended last Saturday when it lost 31-28 to the No. 17 Kansas State. Arizona is looking to get back on track after a 41-19 loss to No. 13 BYU. It was the Wildcats' second straight loss.

Colorado dealt with more than a loss last week against Kansas State as several key players were injured, including superstar Travis Hunter.

Travis Hunter

Wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter left Saturday's game against Kansas State in the second quarter with a shoulder injury. He did not return to the game. While there was concern about the Heisman contender's status, coach Deion Sanders told reporters earlier this week that Hunter "should play for certain" against Arizona in week 8.

Omarion Miller

Wide receiver Omarion Miller shone in a breakout performance for Colorado after Travis Hunter left the game. However, early in the fourth quarter, he went down with an ankle injury and was later seen on the sidelines with a cast and in a wheelchair. Sanders later announced that Miller would miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.

Jimmy Horn Jr.

Only a few plays before Hunter was injured, wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. went down with an ankle injury. Fortunately for Colorado, Sanders said that Horn should be available this week against Arizona.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has only appeared in one game this season. Since the Week 1 game against New Mexico, he has been out of the lineup with an undisclosed injury. He is listed as questionable on the injury report.
