Deion Sanders and his team are still recovering from the hurt of the brutal loss (28-31) against Kansas State in their Week 7 game, breaking the chain of back-to-back victories. Amidst multiple injury benching, especially the absence of the two-way star Travis Hunter and the star wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr, fell heavily on the team, making them pay the consequences in Boulder. That said, the silver hope seems to be right there in the corner as an insider spilled a relaxing update on one of Coach Prime’s offensive weapons.

Deion Sanders said on Tuesday that Colorado star cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter might lace up his shoes on Saturday at Arizona after he took a bump on his right shoulder during last week’s escapade. Elsewhere on the field, Jimmy Horn was marked questionable after he was escorted to the locker room with an acute hurt in the knees. His unavailability restricted Shedeur Sanders’ moves on the field, leading the team to a great upset.

Finally, some good news to munch on. WR coach Jason Phillips said in a post-practice interview today, “[Jimmy Horn] practiced today, so he feels really good, I’m excited to have Jimmy back. Will also practiced today too. So we’ll be fine,”

It will be a treat to see Travis and Jimmy perform after an injury and change the narrative for the Buffs’ past week. As the coach confirmed, Will Sheppard will also line up as one of the weapons in Shedeur Sanders’ armory. Does it suffice to compensate for the heat Coach Prime and his son Shilo Sanders are facing? Only time can reveal the rest.

Can the two absent gems answer all the doubts coming coach Deion Sanders’ way?

Deion Sanders has been in the hot seat ever since the Buffs came up short against the K-State, putting an end to the team’s consecutive happy run since a single loss against Nebraska. While enough of the season is left to smack on the critics, the momentum got heavily disrupted, for the time being at least.

Deion Sanders seems ready to soak all the hatred in his armored heart while not letting his boys feel the blue of a cursed day at Boulder. He believes the team will get better after the solid wake-up call, dismantling the over-confidence syndrome. But when it comes to his son Shilo Sanders, who noticeably played a rusty game last week, Sanders took no filter. He said that Shilo had been horrible throughout the game and couldn’t make the plays when it needed.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn's return turn the tide for Deion Sanders' team this weekend?

Have an interesting take?

That said, it still couldn’t make the haters breathe in peace. They kept on bashing the veteran for bringing back his son in the lineup and called it an act of nepotism.

Now, only the two trailblazers of the team, Hunter and Horn Jr., can add stack to the coach’s favor in the remainder of the season.
