Colorado Buffaloes star defensive back and wide receiver Travis Hunter still needs some time before a return to the football, his coach Deion Sanders revealed this week.

Sanders held a press conference and mentioned that Hunter will likely sit out for at least the next two games. The Buffaloes are looking to get back on the winning track this weekend when they travel to Tempe for a matchup with Arizona State. 

According to the timeline Sanders provided, Hunter would also miss next week's game against Stanford.

Colorado is then scheduled for a bye week. The hope seems to be that Hunter would be able to suit up for the game coming out of the bye. However, not being able to take the field with his teammates has apparently not hampered Hunter's involvement with the team.

"Travis is doing well. He was out at practice today coaching his butt off. He's one of the best coaches we have … It would be my dream and desire for him to stay out until after the bye week. But I know Travis. He's going to want to 'cause he's going to see Shilo (Sanders) most likely." Sanders said.

"There's a chance, a possibility, a prayer that you may see (Myles) Slusher. You may see several starters of that secondary that's supposed to be in there, and I know he's going to want to join them."
