NFL legend Deion Sanders told he could lose foot as "arteries shut down"

Story by Sam Frost

NFL legend Deion Sanders could lose his left foot after significant issues with blood flow worsen.

The Hall of Fame defensive back allowed a camera crew to record a recent appointment with doctors at the University of Colorado facility – where he is the head coach – and he was given the news that they may have to amputate his foot if the problems continue to progress

“You just have to understand what the risks are. Things can cascade,” he was told by vascular surgeon Donald Jacobs in the video published on Sanders' YouTube channel. Dr. Jacobs then turned to Colorado athletic trainer Lauren Askevold and said: "He could lose the foot.”

After a comment like that, you haven’t got a leg to stand on in criticizing Deion. You better toe the line.

Aren't we getting one of the shows, CGD or Big Noon? Crowd signs will be brutal if he in fact does have his foot amputated.

First we battled Captain Phillips on the diamond a few years ago and now we're going up against Pegleg Sanders on the gridiron. Not to mention Muck stealing ideas from this forum. This school is a piracy magnet.

Coach may get his players to rally around him, but there’s zero chance they walk in here and defeet us.

Sorry for being a heel. I was just ingrown that way.

Not to be the fun police, but this seems like a pretty serious health issue to be cracking jokes about. Losing a finger would be one thing, but losing a foot would be horrific. Feel terrible for him if they have to amputate.

Is this all from turf toe he had back in the day?

It's like I don't even recognize you anymore, @Ron Swanson ...


For real though...hope the dude keeps his foot.

They generally send it off to pathology and keeping it is not an option.

We used to send them to the Foot Bank.
Oh wait, it was the Food Bank and we didn't send feet. Never mind.

Reminds me of the old Hudson and Harigan bit on KILT FM when Bud Adams daughter got married to a Vietnam War vet that had stepped on mine. They stayed at the Adams Swankienda before their honeymoon. Mr and Mrs Adams wished their newlyweds goodnight as they went to bed after their long day. Moments later after disrobing and seeing her husband’s mangled foot, she came running downstairs screaming - mommy! Mommy! He’s got a foot and a half!
Mrs Adams responds, Really? You stay with your dad and I’ll go upstairs…

Yikes. I sure hope this thing turns out alright.

Agreed. This has nothing to do with football and is a serious health issue. Nothing to joke about.
