Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has been privately battling back from some serious health issues for a while now and offered a new update on Saturday.

On Saturday, Sanders shared a new photo alongside his son Deion Jr. declaring that he’s “coming to a stadium sold out soon.” He thanked Deion Jr. for being there alongside him for his health journey. 

“#Every little step I take My son @deionsandersjr has been there so we’ve decided to keep on stepping! #CoachPrime coming to a stadium sold out soon,” Sanders wrote on Instagram.

The post comes just a couple of days after he announced that he’s getting “one step closer everyday.”

“1 step closer Everyday, I’m Walking it out! Our Team is working their butts off therefore I’ve got to match that (fire) they have!” he wrote on Thursday.

The positive health updates have led to an outpouring of support and prayers for Coach Prime’s continued recovery:

“Thinking about you brother,” NFL legend Barry Sanders wrote on Instagram.

“Praying for you Coach!” another user wrote.

“We are with you Coach!!!!! Love you,” wrote a third.

“Praying for you brother🙏🏾❤️🔥,” Terry Crews wrote.

“You know we need you prime. Get well ❤️soon!”

“Bucky is always the “good ole son”. Thank you for taking care of our Coach Prime, Bucky. His family and the world needs him!! Coach Prime is such a blessing from God!!”

“(Love) my brother in Christ! Continued Prayers for God’s healing Grace -Jesus.”

It’s still not entirely clear what the health issue Sanders has been battling is. The entire Sanders family has agreed to stay quiet on the matter as the Hall of Famer heals.

But between the weighted vest he’s been wearing and his well-documented medical history, it wouldn’t be a big shock if it has something to do with foot or leg issues.

Back in 2021, Sanders famously had to get two toes removed and nearly lost his entire foot due to blood clots. 

We hope that Coach Prime continues recovering on his own timetable and can’t wait to see him on a college football sideline this season.
