On Tuesday, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders announced that he will be undergoing surgery for blood clots in both of his legs. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Sanders, who is now the head coach of the Jackson State football team, revealed that he has been dealing with the issue for some time and that it has been getting worse. He said that he was advised by doctors to have the surgery to prevent any further complications.
The former Dallas Cowboys cornerback and two-time Super Bowl champion is expected to make a full recovery. He is expected to be released from the hospital within a few days and will be able to return to work shortly after.
Blood clots can be dangerous if not treated properly. They can cause deep vein thrombosis, which can lead to a pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition.
Sanders’ announcement comes as a shock to many, as he is known for his athleticism and physical fitness. He is an eight-time Pro Bowler and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
We wish Deion Sanders a speedy recovery and hope that he can make a full recovery soon. It is important for everyone to be aware of the dangers of blood clots and to seek medical attention if they are experiencing any symptoms.
