Deion Sanders will not attend Pac-12 Media Day this week as he undergoes surgery, according to a report.

Brian Howell of the Buffzone was first to report that news on Wednesday afternoon. Sanders is set to undergo surgery on Thursday. Pac-12 Media Day will take place in Las Vegas on Friday.

Sanders will be replaced by Colorado defensive coordinator Charles Kelly.

Colorado’s player representatives at Pac-12 Media Days will be quarterback Shedeur Sanders and 2-way player Travis Hunter.

Sanders has dealt with health issues throughout this offseason and in recent years. Back in June, Sanders shared video of a conversation with a doctor that revealed he may need to have his left foot amputated.

Sanders has dealt with blood clots in his foot in the past. He had 2 toes amputated from his left foot in 2021.

Colorado said in a statement on Wednesday that Sanders is expected to be back coaching in time for fall camp.
