Deion Sanders ‘Hurting Like Crazy’ and Believes He Has More Blood Clots

Deion Sanders has undergone 14 surgeries since 2021 including bladder removal and toe amputations due to cancer and blood clots affecting his mobility, his doctors said.

  • During Saturday's 35-21 loss at TCU, Deion Sanders, Colorado football coach, removed his left shoe because his foot was throbbing, and he said he believes he has more blood clots with a doctor's appointment Monday.
  • On April 14, Sanders was diagnosed with bladder cancer after a spring scan revealed a tumor, and on May 9 he had surgery to remove his bladder and reconstruct it from his small intestine.
  • Blood-Circulation complications have required repeated surgeries for Sanders, including 14 surgeries since 2021, a 23-day hospital stay, and pre-2023 clot-removal procedures.
  • Those disclosures complicate his role as head coach after a difficult start, as Sanders said he cannot make it through a game without urinating and uses Depend adult diapers.
  • The second straight loss underscores season stakes amid his ongoing treatments, as Sanders focused on execution and pain after summer 2023 surgeries briefly improved mobility.
