Charlie Williams - Currently questionable Williams (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.

Impact Williams was upgraded to questionable after initially appearing as doubtful. His status is worth monitoring heading into Saturday as his return could give the Buffs a redzone threat at his size.

Quentin Gibson - Probable for Week 5 Gibson (undisclosed) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against Texas Tech, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Gibson is trending in the right direction toward suiting up Saturday as he looks to add to his season totals of seven receptions for 42 yards. The wideout will aim to clear the injury report in the following days.

Zach Atkins - Doubtful for Week 5 Atkins (undisclosed) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against Texas Tech, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Atkins is in jeopardy of sitting out Saturday's game after playing against Baylor last week. The tight end's odds of suiting up are slim, but he will aim to recover in the coming days to upgrade his status. If he is unable to suit up, Fisher Clements is next in line to serve as the backup.

Charlie Williams - Status doubtful again Williams (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.

Impact Prior to Week 4, when Colorado visited Baylor, Williams was doubtful before he ultimately did not play the Bears. A similar situation seems likely heading into Saturday's game between CU and Texas Tech, likely limiting the Buffaloes to backup tight ends like Zach Atkins and Fisher Clements just before their bye week. Williams has four receptions (on six targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown this season.

Danny Scudero - Out for Week 5 Scudero (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.

Impact For the early part of the 2026 season, Scudero will have sat out more games than he has played, with Week 5 marking his third absence out of a possible five games. Fortunately for the wide receiver, an upcoming bye week gives him extra rest to prepare for Colorado's next matchup, scheduled for Oct. 17 against Utah.

Damian Henderson II - Probable for Week 5 Henderson (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.

Impact With the Buffaloes struggling going into October, they can use all their available depth, and that includes a recently impressive Henderson. During the month of September, he logged 24 rushing attempts for 111 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry.

DeAndre Moore Jr. - Questionable for Week 5 Moore (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.

Impact Even with a few days to heal after a mid-game injury in Week 4, Moore may be unavailable for Colorado's next matchup. He finished September with 15 receptions (on 28 targets) for 200 yards and one touchdown, even with a mid-game exit somewhat denting his production.

Julian Lewis - Loses starting position Lewis will not be Colorado's starting quarterback Saturday against Texas Tech, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact As expected, Colorado will roll out Isaac Wilson under center Saturday against Texas Tech, leaving Lewis to backup duties for Week 5. With the Buffaloes' lack of offensive firepower across their first month of games, he is taking a good chunk of that responsibility, with just six touchdowns across four appearances and half of the TDs occurring against non-FBS team Weber State.

Isaac Wilson - Will start Week 5 Wilson will start over Julian Lewis in Saturday's game against Texas Tech, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact A day after it was reported that Wilson was likely to start over Lewis in Week 5, Nakos confirmed the quarterback change, with Wilson set to log his first start since 2024. Wilson replaced Lewis during Week 4 at Baylor, and despite completing less than half of his 25 pass attempts, he recorded 12 completions for 156 yards and one touchdown without any turnovers. Ideally for Wilson, with Week 5 marking his first start in years, he can live up to the opportunity despite a difficult opponent against him.

Isaac Wilson - Expected to draw start in Week 5 Wilson is expected to take over as Colorado's starting quarterback in Week 5 against Texas Tech, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Impact Wilson appears slated to replace Julian Lewis, the second-year former blue-chip recruit who's had a rough go of it this season. His numbers don't look terrible on paper, but they do when you consider the fact that most of his production came in the Buffaloes' win over FCS Weber State. The Utah transfer Wilson, meanwhile, has tossed for 153 yards and one touchdown while completing 51.9% of his passes in relief this fall.

Julian Lewis - Not expected to start Week 5 Lewis is not expected to start Saturday's game against Texas Tech, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lewis has started each of Colorado's four games this season, his best performance a 366-yard output in Week 2 against Weber State. But last week against Baylor, he was pulled in favor of Isaac Wilson, who is projected to start Week 5 in Lewis' place. Excluding Week 2, he failed to log multiple touchdowns in his other three performances, and the team won only one of those three matchups.

Quanell Farrakhan Jr. - Breaks out Saturday Farrakhan caught 7 of 8 targets for 117 yards during Saturday's 23-13 loss versus Baylor.

Impact Farrakhan had just one target through three games heading into Saturday's contest, but that didn't stop the sophomore from shining versus Baylor. He saw an uptick in playing time with Danny Scudero (undisclosed) out and DeAndre Moore (undisclosed) injured during the game, and really was able to shine once Isaac Wilson took over the offense after halftime. While his snap count will be determined by the injuries to Scudero and Moore, Farrakhan made a serious case for more playing time, especially if Wilson takes over the starting quarterback spot.

Joseph Williams - Shines in Saturday's loss Williams totaled 11 receptions (on 18 targets) for 127 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 23-13 loss against Baylor.

Impact Williams was excellent in Saturday's loss, highlighted by his game-tying touchdown reception from Isaac Wilson in the fourth quarter. He was targeted a whopping 18 times in the game and appeared to have a good connection with Wilson who took over the offense after halftime from the struggling Julian Lewis. While the quarterback situation is now in flux, Williams is set to be the favorite target of whoever starts for the Buffaloes.

Isaac Wilson - Inefficient in relief effort Wilson completed 12 of 25 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 23-13 loss to Baylor. He also had five rushes for -11 yards.

Impact Wilson replaced Julian Lewis at halftime Saturday after another poor outing from the starter. Wilson got the offense going a bit better and connected with Joseph Williams for a touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter, but he completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes in the loss. It's too early to tell who will start Saturday in a difficult matchup versus Texas Tech.

Julian Lewis - Bench at halftime Lewis completed 11 of 16 passes for 75 yards during Saturday's 23-13 defeat against Baylor.

Impact Lewis led one scoring drive in seven attempts in the first drive, leading him to be benched in favor of Isaac Wilson. Wilson got the offense moving a bit better in the second half, but by no means did he run away with the job. It's too early to tell who will start under center for the Buffaloes in a difficult matchup Saturday versus Texas Tech.
