Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is currently recovering at his Texas estate, attended by his sons, as he deals with an undisclosed health issue. At 57, Sanders has faced significant medical challenges in recent years, including a history of blood clots that led to the amputation of two toes in 2021 and further procedures in 2023 to address his condition. Recently, he lost 14 pounds and hinted in a podcast interview that his current health battle is particularly severe.

Support from friends and former players has been crucial during this time. Notably, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin visited Sanders to show their solidarity. After these visits, Coach Prime shared an update on his Instagram, indicating a positive outlook as he continues to recover.
