Deion Sanders might lose his left foot as a result of circulation issues that forced him to have two toes amputated in 2021.

Sanders allowed camera crews with " Thee Pregame Show " to film a meeting with his medical team at the University of Colorado, where he’s preparing for his first season as head football coach.

In at 11-minute segment released Friday on YouTube, Sanders met with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ken Hunt, vascular surgeons Dr. Donald Jacobs and Dr. Max Wohlauer and athletic trainer Lauren Askevold to discuss his daily pain levels and possible next steps.

“You just have to understand what the risks are. Things can cascade,” Jacobs said, adding that Sanders might not just lose another toe but "he could lose the foot.”

[Deuxcents]

1. It doesn't say but does he have diabetes?

2. Don't know

My brother is not diabetic but had to have a toe amputated because of circulatory problems.

3. Tobacco can cause circulation issues, too.

6. With him, I think we can safely rule out tobacco

If I was to hazard a guess, I would suggest he had off the charts cholesterol levels and has a serious case of cardiovascular disease.

Blood thinners, anti cholesterol drugs, and exercise, but at his age, he can only arrest further advancement. Been there, done that.

4. He's never said either way

But he has circulation issues and blood clots from compartment syndrome. He also has numbness in the soles of his feet.

His daughter was diagnosed with T1D when she was 13.

5. Was curious..he graduated from a high school not far from where I used to live

Watched him go far with a few bumps in the road but this is sad news. He’s overcome a lot and has a strong personality and good attitude so just hoping for the best.
