Getting your player ready...
BOULDER — Two sophomores expected to earn starting roles on the Colorado defense this season, defensive back Parker Orms and defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe, returned to practice today after being out with injuries.
Orms had been out since early in fall camp with knee and calf problems. He underwent ACL surgery last fall after getting injured in the opener against Colorado State.
Uzo-Diribe was hospitalized for a few hours for observation on Wednesday after complaining of tingling when he landed awkwardly on his shoulder pads and helmet.
CU coach Jon Embree said it was good to see them on the field. “You could tell the ones that had been out,” Embree said. “They had fresh legs.”
