Coach Prime’s health has been a major question for this season. The 2025 offseason was particularly brutal on Sanders as he wrestled with an undisclosed but serious health issue. That took him away from most of the spring and summer football activities. Fans first noticed his absence in important team events like Colorado’s spring practices and summer camps, coupled with a canceled speaking engagement that only fueled speculation. Despite his larger-than-life persona, known for his boundless energy. Sanders admitted in a rare update that he was “still going through something” and “ain’t all the way recovered.”
His past struggles with blood clots, emergency surgeries, and toe amputation made everyone fearful that this latest setback could be connected. Sanders spent months tucked away at his Texas ranch. Battling an ailment severe enough to cause him to lose around 14 pounds. It was also a deeply personal journey, and his kids, along with star player Travis Hunter, were like his secret weapons in that fight. Then, almost out of nowhere, Deion dropped an update on X that hit like a breath of cool air after weeks of tension.
“Back and Feeling Great!” Sanders writes on X. The footage revealed him doing regular activities. He was seen taking an ice bath with his daughter, shooting hoops, moving around on the tennis court, and even going on a run-walk. What made this update all the more reassuring was the unmistakable energy and positivity Deion exuded. He might still be healing physically, but his mind is locked on the Buffaloes’ upcoming campaign. At the Big 12 Media Days, he didn’t dwell on his health problems but emphasized the team and the road ahead, showing the unwavering leader fans have come to admire.

For fans, players, and the entire CFB fraternity, this major health update was not just about physical recovery. It was a reminder of Deion’s legendary resilience.
