Deion Sanders has revealed concerns about further blood clots after experiencing severe pain during Colorado's 35-21 loss to TCU on Saturday night. The 58-year-old head coach said he was “hurting like crazy” and believes the issue is related to blood flow in his leg.
“Cat’s out of the bag, all right. I think I’ve got more blood clots,” Sanders said. “It don’t make sense. I’m hurting like crazy ... I’m not getting blood to my leg. That’s why my leg is throbbing.”
Sanders was seen sitting down at times during the game and has a doctor’s appointment scheduled for Monday to address the problem. He apologised for revealing the news but said he felt compelled to respond to questions about his health.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer has a history of blood clot issues. In 2021, he had two toes amputated from his left foot due to blood clots. He also missed media day in 2023 after a procedure to remove a clot from his right leg and straighten toes on his left foot.
Earlier this year, Sanders underwent treatment for bladder cancer, with his doctor confirming after surgery that no traces of the cancer remained. A section of his intestine was reconstructed to function as a bladder.
