Deion Sanders undergoes a procedure for a blood clot and provides for a quick return

Colorado coach Deion Sanders was to undergo a medical intervention later Tuesday in the hope of being back in training the next day and on the touch this weekend against Iowa State.

After the Buffaloese defeat on Saturday evening against TCU, Sanders said he thought he was dealing with blood clots again.

He finished his weekly press conference with a medical update, saying: “I can’t wait to overcome this obstacle.” He added that it is hereditary and that “it has nothing to do with the fact that I work at the level at which I try to compete”.

The coach said that he was suffering during a 35-21 defeat against the TCU last Saturday, alternating between being seated and lodging along the key line with the leg pain. He did not wear a shoe on the left foot in the second half and said after the match he “had crazy”.

“Everything will be fine,” said Sanders, including the Buffaloes (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) welcome No. 22 Iowa State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday. “Praying, I will be back tomorrow because I will not miss training. I do not intend to do that.”

Sanders had blood clots when he was in Jackson State in 2021, the doctors who had amputated two toes from his left foot. He also jumped a session of the media day PAC-12 in 2023 following a procedure aimed at removing a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten the toes from his left foot.

Tuesday, his good and half -friendly friend of the NFL, Adam “Pacman” Jones, attended the media session as a sign of support. Sanders appreciates all SMS and telephone calls from people expressing their concern about his health. “I have a lot of wishes of happiness, people who say: ‘you have to slow down. You have to take a break,” said Sanders. “There is nothing that I could have done to stop what is going on. Nothing that I could have taken or something that I simply do not respect. This is what it is.”

Sanders, 58, spent time far from the team during the summer after receiving a diagnosis of an aggressive form of bladder cancer. He revealed the details of his treatment, which implied that the doctors reconstruct a section of his intestine so that she works like a bladder. He frequently needed to use the toilet, which is why the school set up a portable bathroom during the games.

“I trust God with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind,” said Sanders on Tuesday. “I’m going to go (surgical operation) and I will benefit from the best sleep in the world for, I think, four hours, the operation will last.” I was never smashed for a single day of my life. I have never drunk, smoked or anything. But when I have an operation, I arrive on time. “
