Colorado HC Deion Sanders Provides Health Update: 'Back and Feeling Great!'
The health of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has been a concern of many in the college football world this offseason, but the Buffaloes' headman provided a positive update on his situation. "Back and Feeling Great!" Sanders posted on social media on Friday morning. Sanders, who was reportedly sidelined with an unknown illness last month, has kept many details of his health under wraps. In previous years, Sanders has dealt with blood clot issues, including having two of his left toes amputated. Earlier this week, Sanders was seen at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' training camp. Safety Shilo Sanders, one of Sanders' sons who played for him at Colorado, signed with the Bucs this summer as an undrafted free agent. Colorado opens camp on Monday. Sanders is entering his third season as Colorado's head coach. Following a 4-8 campaign in 2023, the Buffs went 9-4 (7-2 in conference play) in 2024 in what was their first season back in the Big 12 (CU was in the Pac-12 from 2011-23). The Buffaloes lost two-way superstar and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, another son of the head coach, among other players, to the 2025 NFL Draft. Kaidon Salter, who transferred to Colorado after four seasons at Liberty, is expected to be the Buffaloes' 2025 starting quarterback. Granted, they also have four-star freshman signal-caller Julian Lewis. Sanders and the Buffaloes open the 2025 season at home against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29. The following week, Colorado hosts Delaware on Sept. 6 (3:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app). Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Deion Sanders to hold press conference with Colorado medical team amid mysterious health battle
Deion Sanders provided a brief, positive health update Friday, and it seems the full reveal of his medical battle that has had him laying low this offseason is coming soon. Sanders tweeted 'Back and Feeling Great!' on X on Friday morning with his third season as Colorado's coach nearing, and will hold a press conference Monday with his medical team, which features staffers from CU Anschutz and UC Health, to 'provide general and team updates,' the school said in a release. The 57-year-old Sanders has not offered many details about the mysterious illness that has kept the camera friendly coach out of the spotlight this offseason.

AP He missed part of the Buffaloes' spring and summer workouts due to the health issue, per ESPN, and also did not attend contract-stipulated summer football camps. Sanders told former NFL star cornerback Asante Samuel in May that 'what I'm dealing with right now is at a whole other level.' Advertisement The NFL Hall of Famer has battled various health scares in recent years, including having two toes amputated in 2021 and 2023 surgery for blood clots in his left leg. Sanders got a little testy at Big 12 media day earlier this month when pressed about the issue, although he downplayed any concern to ESPN. 4 Deion Sanders during Colorado's spring game in April. AP 'I'm already back,' Sanders told ESPN on July 9 at Big 12 media day. 'I'm here today. I'm handling my responsibilities. So I look forward to it. I can't wait. You've got to understand, some of the young (players) I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that.'

Deion Jr. then referenced a 'battle that was fought and won' at the compound in his last YouTube video posted July 23.

AP 'I'm kind of sad, I'm not gonna lie to you,' Deion Jr. said of leaving the compound. 'I learned to really actually love this place. … It's not even just about being here. It was like the battle that was fought here. The battle that was fought and won here. That's like the main important thing. Boys didn't left the house for two months. 'It's a blessing. He's gonna tell y'all whatever he went through very soon, and I've got a lot of it recorded on video. So, you'll be able to see what he went through.' Sanders faces perhaps his toughest coaching challenge this upcoming season since becoming Colorado's coach prior to the 2023 season. He will no longer have reigning Heisman winner and two-way phenom Travis Hunter, the No. 2 pick in the draft, or quarterback son Shedeur Sanders, who fell to the fifth round.
