Questions about the health of Hall of Fame defensive back and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders have been circulating for several weeks. While speculation has grown, official updates have been limited—until now. A press conference is scheduled for Monday, which is expected to address both general team matters and Sanders’s health. The event will include members of his medical team, signaling that health issues will be a focal point.
Sanders’s participation in recent team activities, including spring and summer camps, has been limited due to an unspecified health issue. However, he did attend the Big 12 Media Days earlier in July, suggesting at least a partial return to public and coaching duties. Though his exact condition has remained unclear, his presence at these events indicated he was still actively engaged with the program.

Despite ongoing recovery, Sanders has expressed optimism. On July 9, he said he had returned and was ready to take on his responsibilities as coach. He also noted his excitement about getting to know some of the younger players on the team. But in a video posted by his son on July 20, Sanders admitted he was still not fully recovered, hinting that whatever he is dealing with remains a significant health challenge.
Sanders was recently seen visiting Tampa Bay’s training camp, where his son Shilo is attempting to earn a roster spot. As anticipation builds ahead of Monday’s press conference, there is speculation that more detailed information about his condition could leak early. Regardless of what is revealed, fans and followers alike are hopeful for positive news and wish Coach Prime a full and speedy recovery.
