Colorado football coach Deion Sanders has made “progress” as he battles back from an unspecified health issue and is moving around again outdoors, his son Deion Jr. said in a YouTube video posted Saturday.
The video shows Sanders fishing at his estate in Texas with former Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter.
“It’s a beautiful thing,” Deion Sanders Jr. says in the video. “Coach Prime back active, moving around. God is great. Not back active moving around, but it’s progress.”
Sanders Sr. has been away from his job in Colorado since April and did not attend Colorado’s annual youth and high school camps in June, even though operating such camps is listed in his employment contract as one of his official duties.
The timing of his return to campus remains unclear. This is usually a dead time of year for head coaches in college football, but he is due to make an appearance at a Big 12 Conference media event in Frisco, Texas, on July 9.
