Deion Sanders Says ‘Everything Is OKAY’ as He Deals with Unknown Health Issue
- Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football team, has been resting at his Texas residence due to a health matter that has kept him away as the team gets ready for their season opener on August 29.
- This follows a prolonged, nearly two-year battle involving 16 surgeries and severe blood clots that led to the 2021 amputation of two toes on Sanders' left foot.
- Sanders missed Colorado's summer football camps and key appearances, including a scheduled keynote event, while his contract extension signed in March requires operating at least three on-campus camps.
- On June 8, Sanders’ son said the 57-year-old coach was "feeling well" but resting and promised he would share more soon about his health challenges.
- Sanders’ absence fuels uncertainty about his timeline to return, which could impact Colorado’s season preparations amid high expectations for the Buffaloes.
