A press conference with Sanders and his medical team is scheduled for Monday. Personnel from CU Anschutz and UC Health will join Sanders to provide updates, university officials announced in a news release.
The health issues prevented Sanders from fully participating in the football team’s spring and summer workouts. The problems also led to his absence from summer football camps in Colorado, as reported by USA Today in June.

“I’m already back,” the 57-year-old told ESPN on July 9. “I’m here today. I’m handling my responsibilities. So, I look forward to it. I can’t wait. You’ve got to understand, some of the young players I haven’t even met yet. I’m so excited about that.”

In a social media video posted on July 20, Sanders told his son, Deion Sanders Jr., “You know I’m still going through something,” before adding “I ain’t all the way recovered.”
