Colorado coach Deion Sanders was in pain during his team's loss at TCU on Saturday, and he said he fears blood clots in his left leg have returned.
He had to remove his left shoe for most of the fourth quarter of the 35-21 loss in Fort Worth, Texas, and also sat on a stool at times to get off his feet.
'I think I've got more blood clots. It doesn't make sense. I'm hurting like crazy,' Sanders, 58, said after the game. 'I'm not getting blood to my leg. That's why my leg is throbbing.'
He said he has an appointment with his physician scheduled for Monday.
Health problems have plagued the Pro Football Hall of Fame member for much of this decade.
In 2021, he had two toes on his left foot amputated. Two years later, he had a blood clot in his right leg removed. In April, he learned he had bladder cancer and was away from Colorado recuperating at his ranch in Texas for much of the spring and summer. Doctors removed his bladder and rerouted a section of his intestine to serve as a bladder.
The Buffaloes are 2-4 (0-3 Big 12) halfway through the season.
