Deion Sanders Says Painful Leg Issue May Be New Blood Clots After Colorado’s Loss at TCU

A Monday evaluation will assess whether his recurring circulation problems have returned.

Overview

  • After a 35-21 defeat at TCU, the 58-year-old coach said he believes he has more blood clots in his leg and described severe throbbing pain from poor circulation.
  • On the sideline he removed his left shoe and at times sat on a stool in the fourth quarter as reporters documented visible discomfort.
  • He said he has a physician appointment Monday to evaluate the problem, with no diagnosis or change to his coaching role reported.
  • Sanders has a long history of vascular issues that required multiple procedures, including two toe amputations in 2021 and clot-removal surgery in 2023.
  • He returned this season after bladder cancer surgery that removed his bladder and was declared cancer-free, and Colorado is now 2-4 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play.
