Deion Sanders updates on Lamont Lester Jr. ahead of Oklahoma State matchup

Summary

Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed hopes for defensive lineman Lamont Lester Jr. to be fully available for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State. Lester played only three snaps in the recent loss to Utah due to an injury that sidelined him during the Texas Tech game. He has four sacks this season, contributing significantly to the team’s defense. The Buffaloes, with a record of 2-4 and 0-3 in Big 12 play, face an OSU offense known for its high passing yardage under quarterback Drew Mestemaker, who averages over 320 yards per game.
