Colorado two-way standout Travis Hunter will be ready to play Saturday against Arizona, Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders said.

A junior in the running for the Heisman Trophy, Hunter has played cornerback and wide receiver for Colorado (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) this season, but left last week's 31-28 loss to Kansas State with a right shoulder injury.

"Travis should play for certain," Sanders said Tuesday.

Hunter went to the locker room with 5:18 left in the second quarter and did not return in the first half. He was on the field for 23 snaps on offense and 21 on defense while in the game.

The Buffaloes' second-leading receiver, Jimmy Horn Jr., also left the game against Kansas State and didn't play in the second half but is on track to play against Arizona (3-3, 1-2), Sanders said Tuesday.

Now in his second season in Colorado since transferring from Jackson State, Hunter had three receptions for 26 yards last week. He has 49 catches for 587 yards and six touchdowns, and he co-leads the team with two interceptions.
