Latest Injury News on Shedeur Sanders
Sanders, one of the breakout prospects of the 2023 season, left the field almost midway through the second quarter. Colorado snapped the ball before Sanders was set. A defender going after the ball made contact with his upper back. He gingerly got up and was taken to the locker room.

In the first quarter, Sanders was hit by Washington State pass rusher Ron Stone Jr., fumbling the ball that was scooped for a touchdown return. He appeared to land on his throwing shoulder and held his arm close to his chest while walking off the field.
The junior passer missed the following drive but was seen on the sideline warming up. We’ll continue to monitor Sanders’ activity and statements from the team. Check back for updates throughout the evening.
