Deion Sanders is dealing with another blood clot issue

Deion Sanders has been dealing with some more health issues recently, and the Colorado coach had to undergo another surgical procedure on Tuesday.

Sanders met with the media on Tuesday and revealed that doctors have discovered more blood clots in his foot, which was an issue for the Hall of Fame defensive back in the past. He said he would undergo a four-hour procedure but expected to be able to return to work on Wednesday.

The 58-year-old Sanders said the recurring blood clot issue is “hereditary” and that there is nothing he can do to prevent it.

“It is what it is. We found what we found. We knew what it was. I have a wonderful team of doctors at UC Health and a wonderful team of trainers here to make sure and ensure my health. It’s not like I’m doing something (wrong),” Sanders said. “I got a lot of well wishes of people talking about, ‘You need to slow down. You need to take a break.’ It has nothing to do with me working at the level that I’m trying to compete at. It’s hereditary. It is what it is. It’s nothing that I could have done to stop what’s transpiring, nothing that I could have taken or something that I’m just not abiding by. It is what it is.”
