Deion Sanders, struggling with health issues, expected to resume work shortly.
Deion Sanders, the esteemed Pro Football Hall of Famer and head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is making a promising recovery from an undisclosed health issue. The coach, who has recently been based in Texas, has been absent from his usual annual youth camps and has lost some weight during his health struggles.
However, recent updates suggest that Sanders is on the mend. Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, who recently spent time with Sanders, confirmed that the coach is "doing good" and expects him to be ready for Colorado's preseason training camp, which is set to start later this month. Jones indicated that Sanders might have about a week left at home before returning to Boulder to resume his coaching duties.
This recovery timeline aligns with Sanders' planned attendance at the Big 12 Media Days in Frisco, Texas, on July 8 and 9. This event, which is a significant part of the preseason calendar, serves as an early step toward Sanders' full return. His attendance at the event, given its proximity to his Texas home, is seen as a positive sign towards resuming full-time coaching responsibilities.
Sanders himself has expressed his excitement to return to Colorado. In a social media post on June 11, he addressed his health, stating that everything is "OK" and will continue to be so. He also shared a video of a recent fishing trip with Jones, further indicating his progress.
It is worth noting that Sanders has had multiple surgeries for persistent blood clots in recent years, including the amputation of two toes in 2021. However, neither Sanders nor Colorado officials have given specifics about the nature of the health issue the coach is facing, and it remains unclear whether his current health status is related to these previous surgeries.
Once back in Boulder, Sanders plans to update everyone on his health and his plans for the upcoming season. The Buffaloes are set to open the season at home on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech. With Sanders' expected return, Colorado fans can look forward to a promising start to the new season.
