Deion Sanders is said to be dealing with an unspecified health issue, reported by his son. Deion Sanders Jr. said in the livestream on Sunday, June 8, that his dad is resting at his home in Texas and has not been with his team in Boulder to prepare for the start of the football season. It is unclear whether the health concerns relate to Sanders’s recent blood clot issues.

“He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he going through, what he went through,” Deion Jr., 31, said on the livestream, and added that his father was “feeling well.”

“When we get back in Boulder, I don’t know,” Deion Jr. said. “I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m gonna sit here with him.”

On the same day of the announcement, Deion Sanders canceled a keynote appearance at a sickle cell disease symposium in Florida, “due to an unavoidable last-minute scheduling change.” 

Sending prayers and a speedy recovery to Deion Sanders.
