CU defensive backs Cha'pelle Brown and D.J. Dykes each have been playing with a broken hand and will continue to do so Saturday against Oklahoma State.
Brown had to be prodded to talk about his, insisting it's just a finger on his left hand and "it's good."
The starting cornerback said he initially injured the digit in the second quarter of the Texas A&M game Nov. 1.
"It isn't too bad; I can play through it," Brown said. "My adrenaline's been going, so I really don't feel anything until after the game. I don't even think about it."
Brown wore padding on his left hand Saturday in a 28-24 win against Iowa State and had a normal workload. Dykes, who combined with Brown on the game-closing goal-line stop, apparently broke a finger during the game.
Secondary coach Greg Brown said an X-ray indicated the finger looked like a "broken golf tee."
