Colorado coach Deion Sanders declared "everything is OK and will continue to be so" in a socal media statement responding to concerns about a possible health issue.

Sanders did not appear at a scheduled speaking engagement and was away from the Boulder campus at his Texas estate according to one of his sons, Deion Sanders Jr.

"Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers," Deion Sanders wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Thank you Thank you Thank you! I can assure you all that everything is OK and will continue to be so. God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me! I'm excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program. When we arrive back to Boulder you will be updated on everything."

Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Deion Sanders Jr. had no details to provide when requests were made for comment this week.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on," Shedeur Sanders said at Browns minicamp. "I'm here not to talk about Pops and them. I'm here [to be] quarterback of the Cleveland Browns."

Deion Sanders Jr. said in a YouTube stream that he'd let his father update the details.

Deion Sanders required multiple surgeries for persistent blood clots in recent years. He had two toes amputated in 2021 to address clotting issues.
