Deion Sanders Has Two Toes Amputated After Failed Surgery
Deion Sanders has revealed he has had two toes on his left foot amputated after suffering blood clot complications from a prior surgery.
Previewing the next episode of his Coach Prime documentary on his Instagram page, Sanders revealed his big toe and second toe on his left foot had to be surgically removed several months ago after a prior failed surgery.
According to ESPN, the former NFL footballer had surgery to a fix long-time foot injury in the middle of 2021 college football season, but his recovery process afterwards never quite got on track.
Sanders underwent multiple different surgeries to try to fix his foot and developed a femoral arterial blood clot, as well as compartment syndrome, which meant his leg swelled.
The swelling required doctors to flay open his leg to drain fluid, but the damage already endured required the amputation of his two left foot toes.
“I told y’all we were gonna show it all in this documentary and that’s what this is. I got to warn ya This ain’t a pretty sight! I may have lost a couple soldiers in the battle but I never lost my faith in God,” Sanders said, in a post teasing the episode.
