Shilo Sanders injury update: Colorado safety 'did something' to forearm, Deion says

LINCOLN, Neb. — Colorado starting safety Shilo Sanders injured his forearm during the first quarter and sat out for the rest of the game against Nebraska.

"I don’t know the extent of the injury, but I know he did something to his forearm that put him out for the rest of the game," Sanders' father and coach, Deion Sanders, said after the game. Coach Prime initially said on the NBC broadcast at halftime that his son had "a broken forearm or something like that."

Shilo was in a sling on the sideline during the fourth quarter.

Shilo was Colorado’s leading tackler last year and is in his final season of college football after graduating from Jackson State last year and then transferring to Colorado to play for his father.
