Colorado coach Deion Sanders will be joined by his personal medical team on Monday when he holds his first news conference since returning to campus amid ongoing health issues.
According to an advisory from Colorado Athletics, Sanders will 'provide team and general updates' at the 1 p.m. ET session and will be accompanied by his medical providers. Also present will be representatives from CU Anschutz, the university's medical campus, and UCHealth, the academic wing of the medical center.
Sanders, entering the third year of his tenure with the Buffaloes, returned to the Colorado campus in Boulder this week for the first time since April. He had been at his Texas estate for most of the spring and summer as he dealt with ongoing undisclosed health issues.
On Friday he wrote 'Back and Feeling Great!' on X.
Earlier in the week, in a social media video posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr., the coach said, 'You know I'm still going through something. I ain't all the way recovered.' The video showed him stepping into an ice bath, walking, shooting hoops and attending a tennis lesson.
The only recent appearance by Sanders related to Colorado was at Big 12 preseason media days two weeks ago, when he declined to give details about his condition, insisting he felt 'good.'
A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Sanders required multiple surgeries for persistent blood clots in recent years. He had two toes amputated in 2021 to address clotting issues, but it is unclear whether that is related to his current health status.
He turns 58 on Aug. 9.
Despite being physically away from the team, Sanders and others at Colorado insist he has been communicating regularly with players, coaches and others at the university, according to multiple reports. Colorado athletic director Rick George said earlier this month the two are in constant contact, per The Athletic.
The Buffaloes open the season at home on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech.
