Injury Update on Key Colorado Offensive Lineman

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders offered a reassuring update on star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton following Saturday’s win over Wyoming. Seaton left the game with a hamstring injury, sparking concern about his availability for the weeks ahead, but Sanders made it clear in his postgame press conference that the freshman standout is not expected to miss significant time.

“Jordan’s cool, they’re good,” Sanders said. “We shouldn’t lose any of them for a couple of weeks.”

Seaton’s early exit was a major storyline during the game, given his importance to Colorado’s offense. The former five-star recruit has been a cornerstone of the Buffaloes’ line since arriving in Boulder, anchoring a unit that has shown steady improvement in 2025. His combination of size, power, and athleticism has already made him one of the most talked-about linemen in the country, and losing him for an extended stretch would be a blow to Sanders’ team.

Instead, the news appears positive. While hamstring injuries can linger, Sanders’ comments suggest the staff expects Seaton to be back sooner rather than later. For Colorado, that is critical as the Buffaloes continue to navigate their first Big 12 schedule. Protecting quarterback Kaidon Salter and maintaining a balanced offense depend heavily on the stability Seaton provides up front.

Seaton’s impact goes beyond his on-field performance. As one of the highest-rated recruits in Colorado history, his presence has been a symbol of Sanders’ ability to bring elite talent to Boulder. His development and leadership have been closely followed by fans and national media alike, and his health will remain one of the key storylines to watch moving forward.

For now, Colorado can breathe a sigh of relief. Their star lineman is not expected to miss extended time, and the Buffaloes can prepare for their next stretch of games knowing Jordan Seaton will likely be back in the lineup soon.
