Some jurisdictions allow landlords to pursue summary eviction proceedings with no demand for damages, then to later make a separate demand for damages. Others do not, but would typically allow the possible adjournment of a hearing on damages until the landlord could reasonably evaluate the unit for damage.

I do not see any Colorado authority that indicates that they allow the splitting of the eviction action; but I will admit that I did only cursory research. To be certain, a landlord who evicts without seeking damages should inquire with a Colorado real estate lawyer about the possibility of either amending the current action to include damages, and whether a subsequent lawsuit would be possible under Colorado law.
