Travis Hunter<\/strong> sustained a lacerated liver during a brutal late hit on Saturday during an epic in-state rivalry game with Colorado State … and now the star cornerback\/wide receiver will miss several games, at the least.<\/p>\n “I’m told Travis Hunter sustained a laceration of his liver,” Skip Bayless<\/strong> announced on FS1<\/strong>‘s Undisputed<\/em> on Monday, before saying it “should heal on its own in 3 to 4 weeks.”<\/p>\n In fact, Colorado was so concerned over the injury to 20-year-old Hunter — one of the most talented football players in college football — he was hospitalized after the double-overtime victory so doctors could evaluate him.<\/p>\n The scary hit happened with just under 5 minutes remaining in the first quarter of the game … with 18th-ranked Colorado trailing Colorado State, 14-7.<\/p>\n QB Shedeur Sanders<\/strong> tried to deliver a deep ball to a streaking, but well-covered Hunter. The ball was slightly overthrown. As the rock landed a few feet in front of Hunter, safety Henry Blackburn<\/strong> delivered a big, late (and arguably dirty) hit on Travis, who went down and was clearly in a lot of pain.<\/p>\n The official immediately threw a flag.<\/p>\n Hunter briefly returned to the game but didn’t play in the second half.<\/p>\n Colorado ultimately won 43-35 … but the play left a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of fans, including LeBron James<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “Like I don\u2019t understand the difference between targeting and what I just witnessed. I\u2019ve seen others get thrown out for far less. That was blatant and uncalled for IMO!” Bron wrote on social media.<\/p>\n Blackburn, a captain on the Col. St. team, has been catching hell online … so much so he’s deactivated comments on his Instagram.<\/p>\n As for Hunter’s return, he’ll likely miss the Oregon (9\/23), USC (9\/30) and Arizona State (10\/7) games, at the least.<\/p>\n Speedy recovery, Travis!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
