Shedeur Sanders’ recent ‘playful scuffle’ reflects the frustration of missing Hunters’ presence on the field.

To the fans’ delight, Hunter has returned to practice for the Buffaloes, but his playing status remains uncertain after a lacerated liver injury during the game against Colorado State.

While Travis Hunter took reps with defensive back against Omarion Miller, his support for teammates remained unwavering. A couple of days ago Coach Prime had revealed that Hunter would have to likely sit out two games. If things go to plan, Hunter could be on the field supporting Shedeur by next week, and the way he is practicing, one can hope for an explosive comeback from the WR.
