Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. was listed as questionable to return following a lower-body injury suffered in the first half against Texas Tech.

FOX reporter Allison Williams shared the update at the end of the half, raising concerns about Horn’s availability for the rest of the game. Horn has been a consistent player for Colorado’s offense, becoming the team’s third-leading receiver through the first eight games of the season. Prior to the game against the Red Raiders, he had 33 receptions for 434 yards and a touchdown, demonstrating his ability to make key plays for the Buffaloes.

This isn’t the first time Horn has dealt with injuries this season. He was previously sidelined in the second half against Kansas State, and his absence affected Colorado’s offensive pace. Horn’s presence as a reliable target has made him a crucial part of Colorado’s passing game, especially with quarterback Shedeur Sanders relying on him as a reliable option down the field.

Now trailing 13-10 at halftime, Sanders and the Buffaloes will have to adjust if Horn can’t return for the second half. They will receive the opening kickoff, hoping to capitalize on the second quarter’s momentum and find other receivers who can fill Horn’s role. With the stakes high, Colorado’s offense will look for alternatives in the passing game to compensate for Horn’s potential absence. The pressure is on the Buffs offense to mount a comeback, with adjustments likely needed to keep pace with Texas Tech at a critical point in the game.
