Colorado coach Deion Sanders gives update on his health

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders addressed his health situation Wednesday on social media, saying that “everything is OKAY” and that he would provide a full update upon his return to campus in Boulder.

Sanders, 57, has been at his estate in Texas for weeks while dealing with an unspecified health issue. Last week, CU’s annual slate of summer football camps got underway without him even though operating the camps is listed as an official duty in his employment contract with CU.

USA TODAY Sports reported Monday that the timing of his return to campus was unclear, based on what his son Deion Jr. said on a YouTube livestream on Sunday.

Deion Sr. thanked his supporters Wednesday on social media site X.

“Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers,” Sanders Sr. wrote. “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so. God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me!”
