Deion Sanders is home in Texas dealing with an unspecified health issue
Colorado football coach Deion Sanders has been at his estate in Texas dealing with an unspecified health issue. The school’s annual summer football camps began last week without Sanders, who also canceled a speaking engagement on Sunday.

“Due to an unavoidable last-minute scheduling change, our originally scheduled Foundation Keynote Speaker, Deion Sanders ‘Coach Prime,’ is unable to attend,” the organization wrote on social media. “We are grateful for his support and look forward to future opportunities to welcome him.”
Sanders’ eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., appeared on a YouTube livestream Sunday from the family’s estate in Texas and said his father was “feeling well.” Sanders’ timetable for a return to Boulder, though, is unknown.
“He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he going through, what he went through,” Deion Jr. said on the livestream. “When we get back in Boulder, I don’t know. I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m going to sit here with him.”
