Deion Sanders misses Colorado football camps amid unspecified health issues
University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders has not attended the summer football camps due to an unspecified health issue.
His son, Deion Sanders Jr., said in a YouTube livestream on Sunday that his dad was resting at their home in Canyon, Texas, and 'feeling well,' USA Today reported.
'He'll tell y'all soon enough what he going through, what he went through,' he said in the video.
He suggested that it's unclear when they plan on traveling to Boulder, where the football camps kicked off June 3.
'I'm waiting until my dad leaves,' he said. 'When he leaves, then I'll go. Until then, I'm gonna sit here with him.'
The university declined to comment on Tuesday.
The former NFL great also canceled a speaking engagement Sunday for the Foundation for Sickle Cell Research. The organizers said that "due to an unavoidable last-minute scheduling change," Sanders could no longer attend and would not be the keynote speaker. Earvin 'Magic' Johnson was announced as the new keynote speaker, the foundation said in a post on X.
Sanders addressed his health while on a podcast hosted by former NFL star Asante Samuel that was streamed live on May 30.
Samuel concluded the interview by saying, "I hope you're feeling better."
Sanders responded by saying, "What I'm dealing with right now is at a whole other level. You know what, honestly, I've done no media, I've done nothing ... I've lost, like, 14 pounds."
Sanders, 57, has been open in the past about his health challenges. He had two toes amputated stemming from complications from a routine surgery, and in 2023, he underwent a nine-hour surgery on his foot.

BREAKING NEWS Explosive report claims angry Pat McAfee banned Adam Schefter from his ESPN show
Pat McAfee reportedly banned NFL insider Adam Schefter from his show after his ESPN colleague snubbed him for a rival program in March. The claim was made by the New York Times on Thursday morning. ESPN, in a statement reported by the publication, called it a 'rumor' and lashed out at people 'seemingly obsessed with wanting to see Pat fail on ESPN.' The Times said that McAfee was unhappy when Schefter turned down an appearance on his show because he was already appearing on an ESPN2 free agency special. The report also says Schefter will return to McAfee's show for the first time since the March incident later on Thursday. McAfee, 38, signed an $85million deal with ESPN in 2023 for his hugely popular 'Pat McAfee Show'. His ESPN colleague Schefter, meanwhile, is widely considered the most respected and distinguished NFL reporter in the business.
