A month ago, ESPN reported that Sanders was “resting up” in Texas. That sparked concerns about his health since he has dealt with plenty of obstacles since 2021, which includes getting two toes amputated in 2021. Coach Prime addressed all the speculation about his health on social media, telling his fans, “I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me!”
Interestingly enough, Sanders wasn’t willing to talk about his health at Big 12 Media Days.
“I’m already back. I’m here today. I’m handling my responsibilities. So I look forward to it. I can’t wait,” Sanders told reporters. “I’m not here to talk about my health, I’m here to talk about my team. … We want to win. We want to win at all costs.”

Even though Sanders appeared at Big 12 Media Days, he’s still dealing with complications away from the gridiron. He provided a brief update on his health in a video shared on Deion Jr.’s YouTube channel.
“You know I’m still going through something,” Sanders said. “I ain’t all the way recovered.”

After hearing this update from the Hall of Famer, fans sent kind messages to him on social media.
“Deion’s health fight is a reminder even legends face battles off the field,” one fan said.

“Praying for continued better health Coach Prime,” a second fan wrote on X.
“Praying that you are better today than yesterday! Head up, chest out, one foot before the other, Let’s Go! Love you Coach,” another fan tweeted at Sanders.
“I’m worried about Coach Prime. He still doesn’t look like himself. I hope he makes a full recovery,” another social media user commented.
Sanders is getting ready for Year 3 at Colorado. He led the program to a 9-4 record and a trip to the Alamo Bowl last season.
