Colorado coach Deion Sanders told reporters Tuesday that Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn should not be receiving death threats in response to his violent late hit on Buffaloes star Travis Hunter on Saturday night.
Blackburn delivered the bone-chilling hit on Hunter near the midway point of the first quarter of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw a pass to Hunter along the left sideline, and after the ball fell incomplete, Blackburn hit Hunter’s midsection, drawing a penalty for unnecessary roughness.

Giants coach Brian Daboll shared hope that star running back Saquon Barkley could suit up for the team’s Thursday night showdown with the 49ers, despite suffering a sprained ankle in Week 2 against Arizona.

“I’m not saying he’s out yet. He’s a quick healer. I’m not saying he’s in or he’s out,” said Daboll.
