The Colorado Buffaloes may see the return of a talented wide receiver in the Alamo Bowl next week.
Omarion Miller, who has missed the last two months of action with a leg injury, claimed he would be back healthy for the Buffs’ Dec. 28 matchup against BYU, as revealed in Deion Sanders Jr.’s latest Well Off Media YouTube video.
“I’ll be back practicing tomorrow,” Miller said Wednesday. “Taking it slow, but y’all will see me in that bowl game, for sure.”
Miller suffered the injury on a hip-drop tackle early in the fourth quarter against the Kansas State Wildcats on Oct. 12. The sophomore had shined up to that point in the game, hauling in eight catches for 145 yards.
For the season, however, Miller logged a catch in just one other game. He finished with two receptions, including a 58-yard touchdown, against Baylor on Sept. 21. In his two seasons at Colorado, Miller has 21 catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns.
With Miller seen as a key piece of the Buffs’ future, CU’s coaching staff will have a decision to make on whether the newly-recovered young wideout will be allowed to play in San Antonio next weekend.
