Shedeur Sanders won't be attending this week's Manning Passing Academy. It would've been the first appearance at the prestigious QB camp for the Jackson State transfer. 

Sanders was scheduled to be among the attendees at this year’s academy from June 22-25 at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. He was omitted from the official MPA roster on Twitter and sources confirmed he wouldn't be there for the camp. 

The news comes a week after the Sanders family received an update on their father's condition. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was told by a group of doctors that there's a possibility he could lose his left foot due to lack of blood circulation. 

The Manning Passing Academy has attracted the top quarterbacks in college football each summer since 1996. Archie Manning, along with sons Cooper, Peyton, and Eli, will serve as the heads of the camp. They'll welcome the next generation with Archie's grandson and Texas recruit Arch Manning as a counselor. 

The highlight of the camp each year is the “Friday Night Lights” skills competition, which sees the college football quarterbacks in attendance compete in a series of drills to gauge accuracy, arm strength and route throwing versatility, per the Academy's website. 

Sanders joins USC's Heisman winner Caleb Williams as the most-notable QBs not in the Bayou this week.
