Out for exhibition game Rancik (ankle) is out for Sunday's exhibition game against Grace College, according to Oliver Hayes of BuffStampede.com.

Impact Rancik out for Sunday's exhibition game means that he will not have any in-game preparation before Colorado's 2025-26 season begins. That is also only under the case that Rancik is available for CU's season opener, which comes Nov. 3 against Montana State. Rancik may be in line for more consistent starting time this year, so getting healthy as soon as possible is paramount.

Dealing with sprained ankle Rancik is dealing with a sprained ankle, according to Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera.

Impact Colorado's 2024-25 season was capped off with a Rancik leg injury, and it is unclear whether that same problem is a recurring issue. Regardless, because of his more defined injury, he is likely to miss CU's open-to-public intrasquad scrimmage scheduled for Saturday. But with Rancik's current problem unlikely to be a long-term setback, it looks like he may be available when the 2025-26 Buffaloes begin their regular season in November.
