“When we get back in Boulder, I don’t know,” Deion Jr. said in a YouTube livestream from the estate in Canyon, Texas, on Sunday. “I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m going to sit here with him.”
Deion Jr. said his father was “feeling well.”

“He’ll tell you all soon enough what he going through, what he went through,” Deion Jr. added.
Colorado University told Fox News Digital that it has no comment on Sanders’ health issue at this time.
Sanders indicated he had been dealing with a health issue in May, when he revealed on former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel’s podcast that he lost 14 pounds. In that appearance, Sanders said that what he was dealing with was “right now is at a whole other level.”

The Colorado coach has dealt with a few serious health issues in recent years. In 2021, he had two toes on his left foot amputated due to blood clots that stemmed from a prior surgery.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer underwent surgery in 2023 to relieve blood clots in both of his legs.
Colorado finished 9-4 in Sanders’ second season as head coach in 2024. Colorado begins its 2025 season at home against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.
