Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders provided an update on his health after his bladder cancer treatment, stating that he thinks he has gotten “more blood clots.”
Per PEOPLE, Sanders, 58, touched on his health struggles after the Buffaloes lost 35-21 against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday.
“Cat’s out of the bag, all right. I think I’ve got more blood clots,” Sanders informed the media after the match. “It don’t make sense. I’m hurting like crazy. I’m not getting blood to my leg. That’s why my leg is throbbing.”

Sanders also disclosed that he lost around 25 pounds. Colorado team trainer Lauren Askevold said that the tumor was found in Sanders’ bladder when he underwent a usual routine vascular exam as a result of issues with blood clots in his legs.
Dr. Janet Kukreja, the director of urological oncology at University of Colorado Cancer Center, confirmed that Sanders had been “cured of cancer,” and that was a “word” she did not use “lightly.” Kukreja said that a new bladder for Sanders was made with a portion of his small intestine.
This isn’t the first time Sanders has experienced a health setback. In 2021, two toes on his left foot were amputated due to his blood clot issues.
