Deion Sanders reveals another procedure for blood clots at Colorado spring game

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders recently went to the hospital for another procedure to treat recurring issues with blood clots but said he’s “good” now and planning on sticking around Boulder this summer, unlike last year when he was recovering from bladder cancer . Sanders said his recent procedure happened about three weeks ago and caused him to be away from the team for two or three days. He didn’t reveal it publicly until after his team finished its spring practice season with an intrasquad game Saturday, April 11 at Folsom Field in Boulder.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys,” Sanders said at a news conference afterward. Sanders, 58, underwent surgery for blood clots in his lower body in October and before the season in 2023 . Last May, he also had his bladder removed after the discovery of cancer , keeping him away from Boulder from May to late July while he recovered at his estate in Texas.

His absence prevented him from meeting some new players until the start of preseason practice.

“Everybody inside these doors could tell you it’s different when I’m here,” Sanders said Saturday. “I’m gonna go fishing, believe that. … I’m gonna take my breaks like every other coach.
