Overview

  • The University of Colorado said Sanders is receiving an aspiration thrombectomy on the left popliteal and tibial arteries to treat blood clots.
  • The operation was scheduled for Tuesday and is expected to last about four hours, according to multiple reports.
  • Sanders told reporters he intends to return to practice Wednesday and be on the sideline Saturday against No. 22 Iowa State at Folsom Field.
  • He emphasized the condition is hereditary rather than related to his workload and credited his UCHealth team and trainers.
  • This episode follows a long medical history that includes two toe amputations in 2021, blood-clot surgeries in 2023, and bladder removal in May before being declared cancer-free in July.
