Overview

  • The University of Colorado said Sanders had an aspiration thrombectomy Tuesday to clear clots from his left popliteal and tibial arteries in a roughly four-hour procedure.
  • Sanders said he plans to be at practice Wednesday and expects to coach Saturday against No. 22 Iowa State.
  • A new video from Well Off Media shows Sanders referring to this as surgery No. 16 in recent years.
  • Sanders reiterated the clotting is hereditary and not related to workload, emphasizing his trust in his medical team and faith.
  • He was visibly in pain during the loss to TCU and has a documented history of vascular problems and recent bladder cancer surgery, after which he was declared cancer-free.
