Colorado head coach Deion Sanders posted on social media Wednesday that “everything is OKAY” after news emerged he has been unable to attend the school’s football camps so far this spring.
The 57-year-old’s health has come into question because of his extended absence. Sanders wrote on X that he was “truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
Sanders later added that he’s “excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program.” He said that once he arrives back in Boulder he will provide updates. He concluded his post with, “Until then, I’M COMING BABY, #CoachPrime.”
The school had no comment on Wednesday and did not give a reason for his absence. ESPN, citing a source it did not name, reported on Tuesday that Sanders has been ill and out of the office recently. His son Deion Sanders Jr posted a livestream on YouTube over the weekend in which he said his father remains at home in Texas and “feeling well,” according to USA Today.
The Hall of Famer has dealt with foot issues since he had two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clot issues. He missed media day in 2023, his inaugural year at Colorado, after a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten some of his toes.
As part of the contract extension he signed in March, Sanders is required to operate a minimum of three on-campus football camps.
The Buffaloes are set to begin their third year under Sanders on 29 August against Georgia Tech at Folsom Field.
