Overview

  • Sanders has been away from Boulder since June 3, missing the University of Colorado’s contract-mandated summer football camps and prompting concerns over the team's preparation.
  • On June 8, his son Deion Sanders Jr. said during a YouTube livestream that the coach was “feeling well” but did not specify when they would return to campus.
  • Sanders revealed on a late-May podcast that his condition forced him to lose about 14 pounds and described it as being “at a whole other level,” without disclosing further details.
  • Athletic trainer Lauren Askevold has accompanied him at his Texas estate, supporting him through this setback following his past blood-clot surgeries and toe amputations.
  • In a June 11 social media post, Sanders assured fans that “everything is OKAY” and expressed eagerness to return to Colorado, though he has not set a timetable for his comeback.
