According to the search results, Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, had two toes amputated in 2021 due to blood clots. Recently, he has been experiencing blood flow problems to his left foot, and doctors have warned that he may need to have his foot amputated. In September 2023, Sanders underwent an amputation of his big toe and second toe on his left foot due to blood clots and gangrene. He had to undergo emergency surgery and hospitalization for almost a month. Sanders medical team included orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ken Hunt and vascular surgeons Dr. Max Wohlauer and Dr. Donald Jacobs. Sanders surgeries have affected his coaching, as he had to miss three games while coaching at Jackson State after the procedure. However, he has continued to coach despite his medical challenges.
