Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has taken to social media amid reports of an unspecified health issue that is keeping him from the team.
Coach Prime is said to be at his Texas estate due to the illness, with the Buffaloes’ summer camp now underway.
His eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., said his dad was getting rest and “feeling well” during a live stream on YouTube on Sunday.
“He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he’s going through, what he went through,” he remarked. “When we get back to Boulder, I don’t know. I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m going to sit here with him.”
The senior Sanders was on social media this Tuesday, although he did not mention his health issue.
“Let’s attack today with all we have,” he wrote. “Let’s give today everything we got. Let’s not save ourselves for tomorrow knowing tomorrow ain’t promised. Let’s go all out baby. I believe in you & you Believe in what God has bestowed upon u. Let’s go!”

No Timeline On Deion Sanders’ Return To Colorado
Sanders, who has a history of health-related issues in recent years, sounded like he was motivating himself with his posts. Whatever he’s dealing with is still unknown, while a timeline for his return to the team is still up in the air.
Sanders was forced to cancel an appearance at an event on the weekend at which he was supposed to be the keynote speaker. He was replaced by former NBA star Magic Johnson.
The head coach is entering his third season with Colorado and the first without his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, and star cornerback Travis Hunter. All three of the players made the step up to the pros in April.
