It seems like it might be a little longer before Deion Sanders can join the rest of his Colorado coaching staff.
In a video recently posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr, the NFL legend admitted that he’s not yet fully recovered from his undisclosed health issue.
“You know I’m still going through something,” the head coach said. “I ain’t all the way recovered.”
Almost two weeks ago, Sanders took the stage at Big 12 media day, but he didn’t want to address his health issues.
“I’m not here to talk about my health,” Sanders said. “I’m here to talk about my team.”
According to the Athletic, Sanders, who’s recovering in his home in Texas, has been in close contact with his coaching staff. Colorado athletic director Rick George also said that Sanders would “probably” report to campus within the next two weeks, per the Athletic.
The former Super Bowl winner has a long history of health concerns. He had two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clots, and he went under the knife again in 2023 after reportedly dealing with some excruciating pain.
The Buffaloes are transitioning into the post-Shedeur Sanders/Travis Hunter era and looking to build from last year’s 9-4 record and big win at the Alamo Bowl.
