Colorado coach Deion Sanders underwent surgery Friday that removed blood clots and was described as successful.
. Sanders, 55, said the clots below the knee were “a bunch of little ones” and the one in right thigh “is not as bad as the other ones, but they want to get it before it grows.”The surgery near Denver is the latest in a series of health problems for Sanders since 2021, when he developed blood clots and had several surgeries on his left foot and leg. He previously said it was a life-threatening situation at one point then, and he almost needed to have his leg amputated below the knee.
Sanders said in an Instagram post Thursday that the surgery Friday was designed to improve blood flow in the leg so they can fix the toes later. Once one of the fastest players in the NFL, Sanders walks with a limp and left calf that had the sides cut out during surgery in 2021, leaving a narrow bottom leg missing his big toe and adjacent toe.
