Following a loss at TCU on Saturday night, Colorado coach Deion Sanders revealed he may be dealing with more health issues.
Sanders was away from the team for much of the offseason due to a then-unspecified medical situation. It was later revealed he was receiving treatment for bladder cancer, which has since been cured.
However, Sanders said on Saturday night that he is dealing with significant leg pain and worries that he has more blood clots. He said he had a doctor's appointment on Monday to address the concerns.
"Cat's out of the bag, all right. I think I've got more blood clots," Sanders said. "It don't make sense. I'm hurting like crazy... I'm not getting blood to my leg. That's why my leg is throbbing."
Sanders, who is 58, has dealt with blood clots in the past. While the head coach at Jackson State in 2021, Sanders had two toes amputated on his left foot due to clots, and ahead of his debut season at Colorado in 2023, he missed Pac-12 media day after undergoing a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg.
It's certainly a scary situation for the third-year head coach, who has dealt with quite a few health issues over the last few years. Colorado is currently 2-4 on the season and is in the midst of a 0-3 start to Big 12 play.
