According to reports, Deion Sanders is not in Colorado due to an undisclosed health condition.

According to an ESPN report on Tuesday, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders is coping with a "unspecified health issue" in his Texas home.

According to USA Today, Sanders, 57, was not on campus last week when the school's yearly summer football camps got underway.

In a YouTube livestream on Sunday, Deion Sanders Jr., the oldest son of the Pro Football Hall of Famer, stated that his father was "doing great," but he did not provide a timeline for his return.

According to USA Today, Deion Jr. said, "He will tell you all soon enough what he is going through, what he went through." "When will we return to Boulder? I am not sure. I am awaiting my dad's departure. I will depart when he does. I am going to sit here with him until then.

On August 29, Colorado plays Georgia Tech at home to start the season.

In Sanders' second season in 2024, the Buffaloes finished 9-4 (7-2 Big 12), although they lost two of their most well-known players to the 2025 NFL draft: quarterback (and coach's son) Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.

Deion Sanders has recently struggled with health issues. Due to blood clots in his legs, he missed the Pac-12 media day in 2023 and had two of his toes amputated in 2022.

Last weekend, Sanders was supposed to appear at a medical conference in Florida, but he had to cancel.
