Due to injuries and players stepping up at key positions, Colorado football’s depth chart looks fairly different now than it did entering Week 1. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter remain at the forefront of CU’s success, but the Buffs have made changes at linebacker, running back, safety and on both lines.
Injury-wise, safety Shilo Sanders (forearm) and running back Dallan Hayden (high ankle sprain) are both out for Colorado’s Big 12 Conference opener against Baylor, meaning Carter Stoutmire and Isaiah Augustave are expected to assume larger roles.
Take a complete look at Colorado’s Week 4 depth chart for its Saturday evening (6 p.m. MT on Fox) game against Baylor:
