Overview

  • Sanders has remained at his Texas estate since June 3, skipping all three on-campus summer football camps outlined in his contract
  • During a June 8 YouTube livestream, Deion Sanders Jr. said his father is “feeling well” but did not specify when they would head back to Boulder
  • Sanders canceled his June 8 keynote at the Sickle Cell Disease Research symposium due to an “unavoidable last-minute scheduling change”
  • On former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel’s podcast in late May, Sanders revealed he lost about 14 pounds and described his current health challenge as “at a whole other level”
  • Colorado’s athletic department has declined to comment on his condition; Sanders previously battled blood clots that led to toe amputations and multiple leg surgeries
