His first game as the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes is scheduled for September 2 at Texas Christian University.
Taking to Instagram, Sanders provided an update on his condition, stating that he has encountered various medical challenges with his foot. Despite the difficulties, he emphasized his determination to keep moving forward and maintain a positive outlook.
