NFL News: HC Deion dropped a sympathetic message from the sick bed after several demands of his absence, he also further to encourage the entire Colorado buffaloes community with powerful words…

Deion Sanders shared a brief update on his health on Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Sanders has been away from the Colorado program recently as he deals with an unspecified health issue in Texas. While it’s still unclear what Sanders has been dealing with, he assured fans on Wednesday that he’s “okay” and said he’d give a more complete update once he’s back in Boulder.

 

can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so,” Sanders wrote on social media. “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.

This isn’t the first time Sanders has dealt with medical issues in recent years. In 2021, while he was the head coach at Jackson State, Sanders had two toes amputated due to a blood clotting issue.

 

Sanders is preparing for his third season as Colorado’s head coach. Last year, the Buffs finished 7-2 in the Big 12 and were one win away from competing in the conference title game.

 

Colorado will open the 2025 season against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.

 

In what was meant to be a symbolic start to his professional career, the 23-year-old found himself behind the camera, not behind the snap at the team’s youth football camp.

 

 

Shedeur was on the other side of the camera at our youth camp,” the Browns posted to social media with a photo of the star working the job, before later following up with, “Shedeur took the camera.”

 

A role that might seem light-hearted or PR-friendly in isolation takes on new meaning given the intense competition within the team-and the larger questions surrounding his future but the Colorado Buffaloes graduate doesn’t see it that way.

 

“It’s just something I genuinely do,” Sanders said of the moment. “And what I find fun.

 

Where I find my peace, my happiness, my joy is to be able to have a positive influence on the youth.

 

Sanders unsure of who will lead Browns in 2025/26 NFL season

But while Shedeur was finding peace at a youth camp, the Browns were entering a potentially turbulent quarterback situation-and he may be at the center of it, whether he’s ready or not.

 

Currently, the Browns are carrying four quarterbacks into the preseason: Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Sanders. All four are still under contract but with limited preseason reps to go around and a quarterback room already crowded, one might be cut before the season.

 

Asked whether he knew who would start between him and Flacco, Sanders gave a candid answer by saying he doesn’t know, and the same certainty hangs over Pickett, who was recently traded from Philadelphia and is already on his third team since 2022.

 

Reports from Cleveland .com Mary Kay Cabot confirmed that the Browns will not pick up Pickett’s fifth-year option-an implicit signal that they’re not committing to him long-term as roster efficiency becomes a priority.

 

 

 

 

 

Rumors already point to a potential exit for Pickett, and that would reshape the competition by giving Sanders clearer path to talking. snaps in practice and gaining experience in preseason games as he contends to be the starter.

 

 

 

The Browns are in no rush. Sanders and Gabriel are under team control through 2028, giving Cleveland time to see if either can evolve into a future starter before they have to think about letting one go.

 

The attention will be centered on which player will best lead the team throughout the 2025/26 NFL season with Deshaun Watson out injured, opening the door to any of Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel and Sanders to take over.
