Doctors tell Colorado football coach Deion Sanders he may need foot amputated

DENVER — Deion Sanders may have to have his left foot amputated, according to University of Colorado doctors.

The doctors delivered the news to Sanders in a meeting uploaded onto the Colorado head football coach’s YouTube channel Thee Pregame Show earlier this week.

Amputation is a possibility due to blood flow issues in Sanders’ foot, according to his medical team. He has struggled with blood flow in his left foot and previously had two toes amputated in 2021. He also referenced not having feeling on the bottom of his foot and is aware of the risks involved.

“I know what the risks are, I only have eight toes,” Sanders said to his medical team. “So I am pretty sure I understand.”

Dr. Donald Jacobs, a vascular surgeon, said Sanders “could lose the foot” as part of the risk in fixing the pain in Sanders left foot.
