Deion Sanders’ health has been a closely followed topic this season. Last month, reports emerged that Pro Football Hall of Famer was sidelined with an unspecified disease.
As Sanders continues to prepare for his third season as a Colorado football head coach, he offered a positive – albeit short – update on his health status on Friday.
“Back and feel good!” Sanders wrote on X.
Sanders has chosen to keep many details of his personal health private, but he now seems to be willing to change course.

The apparent health concerns prevented the high -profile coach from being fully involved in the football team’s spring and summer training this season. The questions also forced the two-time Super Bowl winner to miss summer football camps in Colorado, USA Today reported in June.

In recent years, Sanders has struggled with blood problems and had two toes on his left foot amputated.
Sanders mostly avoided tackling his health earlier this month on the Big 12 Media Days.
“I’m already back,” the 57-year-old told ESPN July 9th. “I’m here today. I’m handling my responsibility. So I look forward to it. I can’t wait. You have to understand, some of the young (players) that I haven’t even met yet. I’m so excited about it.”

In a social media video that was broadcast July 20, the Colorado coach told his son, Deion Sanders Jr., “You know I still go through something,” before you follow up “I’m not all the way that was recovered.”
Sanders will also face more challenges on the field when the new season starts. Colorado will no longer have the benefit of the Trojs Travis Hunter or Quarterback Shedeur Sanders in 2025. Hunter was the second total committee in April’s NFL draft, while Shedeur fell to the fifth round.
Kaidon salts transferred from Liberty to Colorado and are likely to handle Buffaloes’ start -quarterback tasks in 2025.
