The biggest storyline surround the Colorado Buffaloes' official availability reports in the week leading up to the Kansas State game centered around quarterback Julian Lewis.

On Thursday, Lewis' family announced that the Buffaloes quarterback suffered a medical emergency on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Lewis was subsequently downgraded and listed among the players "Out" against Kansas State on Colorado's availability report released on Thursday. However, on Friday's latest edition, Lewis was completely taken off the report.

Lewis is not included on the final availability report before kickoff against Kansas State.

The biggest change in Colorado's pregame availability report is the removal of wide receiver Ernest Campbell who was previously listed as probable. With wide receiver Danny Scudero and running back Micah Welch still sidelined, the offense can use every play maker available.

His health and well-being remain our top priority during this time," the university's statement reads.

Lewis has totaled 733 passing yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions. He took eight sacks on the year but rushed for one touchdown.
