Colorado football coach Deion Sanders said he will undergo surgery Friday to fix blood clots in his legs but downplayed the risk of amputation after one of his doctors mentioned it last week.
The news marks the latest of his health woes since 2021, when blood clots led to a life-threatening situation and the amputation of two toes on his left foot.
Since then, he has experienced issues with additional toes on the same foot. On Thursday, he said on Instagram that the treatment on Friday is "to try to get those clots so now I can have proper blood flow to the leg so they can fix the toes."
Sanders, 55, claimed he just saw a doctor and discovered he has clots in both legs. Sanders' blood circulation has gotten worse, according to a doctor he saw last week, to the point where the blood pressure near his left ankle was only 66% of the blood pressure in his arm. Then, a doctor warned him, he ran the possibility of having that foot amputated.
Sanders, though, stated on Thursday that there has been "no talk of amputation."
If worse comes to worst, this was going to happen, the doctor just told me, but I believe in remaining right so we never have to take that left, Sanders added.
