Deion Sanders May Have to Get His Foot Amputated

Deion Sanders may have to get his left foot amputated as he continues to suffer from blood flow problems in the area.

Sanders, the new coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football team, has been dealing with issues with this foot for some time, including having to have his big toe and the toe next to it amputated due to blood clots running down his leg from the top of his calf.

Doctors for the team said that “he could lose the foot.”

One vascular surgeon told Sanders that the blood pressure measured near the left foot had been the same as the blood pressure in his arm a year ago, but is now at around 66% compared to the arm.

“So those arteries have shut down.”
