Jackson State Head Football Coach Deion Sanders revealed he had two amputated due to blood clots from a previous surgery.

Midway last season, Sanders was hospitalized after having a dislocated toe, along with an inflamed nerve and after his surgery his toes began to darken.

“They were talking about the amputation of toes,” said Sanders. “Then they were talking about the amputation of my leg from the knee down. Then, they were trying to ensure I had life,” Sanders said.

More information will be laid out in Sanders’ documentary, “Coach Prime”, which will air on Tuesday night.
