Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is “expected to return” at Colorado on Saturday after being questionable on all three Big 12 availability reports this week, according to a report by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham had previously said Tyson’s timeline had been tracking for a return in Boulder and added Friday on Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta that his status would be a “game-time decision.”
He did get the game-time designation on the availability report released 90 minutes ahead of kickoff.
Even though his hamstring injury has cost him three games, Tyson remains second among Big 12 players in receiving touchdowns and total receptions with eight and 57, respectively.
Defensive back Rodney Bimage Jr. was listed as out following a stinger injury he picked up against West Virginia last week.
Fellow DB Adama Fall was downgraded from “doubtful” to “out” after seeing his second game of action this season against the Mountaineers.
For Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes, safety Carter Stoutmire, who is the team’s leading tackler (35) at his position, was listed as doubtful and linebacker Jeremiah Brown, who has the team’s second-most tackles (61) and two sacks, is questionable.
All Colorado players that appeared on the conference availability report were on the defense except for long snapper Camden Dempsey (out).
ASU-Colorado kicks off on Saturday at 6 p.m. and can be listened to on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app. Watch the game on ESPN2.

If he's good to go and wants to play, go for it . . . But, and slight twinge or the Devils are rolling, take him out. Dilly-Dilly left in the T-Cup last year for lustful/revenge of the previous years' beat down in Tempe, in a game that was in hand, and BAM, busted collarbone. Missed the Big XII Title game, which didn't matter, but could have used him against Texas. Stay healthy, young man!
OK, so, if he is intent on being active for the game, let him suit up but someone(s) handcuff him to a bench on the sidelines and only unlock the cuffs if the team seriously needs him to beat Colorado. We all know he's competitive and also wants to show for the pros (though I don't know what more he needs to prove that he's a 1st round pick), but save him for the Bear Down game - they will likely need him more on that Black Friday in Tempe.
