Deion Sanders May Have To Get His Left Foot Amputated

Deion Sanders Goes Into Procedure That Could Get His Left Foot Amputated

Deion Sanders may have to get his left foot amputated as he continues to suffer from blood flow problems in the area, according to doctors with the Colorado football team.

“You just have to understand what the risks are,” vascular surgeon Donald Jacobs told Sanders on “Thee Pregame.”

Jacobs also told Colorado athletic trainer Lauren Askevold that “he could lose the foot.”

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.

Max Wohlauer, another 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.

Even though the doctors attempted to let him down easy, Deion Sanders didn’t seem to fully understand despite already having two less toes in his foot from the previous amputation.

Jacobs quickly told him he is in danger of losing his entire foot, which left Deion Sanders completely shocked. Coach Prime still hasn’t made a decision about the procedure as doctors seek for different options besides straightening out his toe.
