A long general piece. Not health related. Just mentions him hobbling.

It’s ‘Coach Prime’ time at Colorado
God ‘called’ former NFL star Deion Sanders to coach at an HBCU. The money took him to Colorado. What happens next is anyone’s guess.
It was well known that Sanders had toes amputated because of issues after surgery?
WARNING: Surgery video is graphic AF.

BOLO for untreated diabetes... but others mentioned maybe a past surgery cutting off proper blood flow?
It may be a circulatory problem or a condion know as charko foot. Either way I hope he pulls through without losing the foot.
Dude needs a simple outpatient angiogram to get leg angioplasty & stenting which will increase the blood flow to his feet/legs.
Or, more seriously, he needs actual surgery and a fem/pop bypass.
Once you start losing toes, if you don't correct the situation the chops just start going up the foot to the leg.

an article linked in the article in the OP detailed what he told Shannon Sharpe. Blood clots.

I'm not sure if all of the medical information in this article was mentioned previously in the thread or not, but I posted the article link just in case any additional information is included.

Sorry, I got busy and forgot about your question. The swelling after his routine surgery resulted in compartment syndrome and reduced blood flow to his foot. Two little piggies were the victims and had to be removed because of gangrene. There seems to be more going on with Deion though. He has had blood clots develop in both legs I believe. If that's the case, it's most likely due to him being inactive/sedentary after this ordeal or as a result of a blot clotting disorder. Either way, he should be seeing a hematologist to make sure he doesnt have a blood clotting disorder. The leg clots can break off, travel through the right side of the heart and lodge in the lungs causing further problems. He should be on medicine to reduce the chance of developing further blood clots.@LETSGORU91 , any thoughts on the root of the problem for Coach Prime.

Yes, which is the newer class of anticoagulants. For old schoolers, theres warfarin (coumadin) which competitively inhibits the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 which reduces the synthesis of active clotting factors.
I worked on a factor Xa-i for several years. It s the bed in the US because medical screwed up phase 3 (great story!), but it's a best seller in the EU and Japan (edoxoban).
I just looked up Factor Xa inhibitors. Have a close friend who has been chasing an elusive clotting issue in the lungs for years, requiring blood thinners. But the blood thinners can cause brain bleeds when the person even slightly bumps their head. Not sure if the blood thinner is coumadin or Factor Xa. But it is a scary situation for a relatively young person (younger than us!). Friend has a good medical team with a major University hospital, but the problem is still elusive
Had an elderly family member who passed away years ago who had several bad episodes with coumadin.
Back to Coach Prime, hope he can figure it out. But something he said is troubling- he basically wants to take the quickest route NOW because "he can't" miss any of the football season. Poor choice by him. Have seen too many people who have busy professional lives put their professional "lives" before the most important thing- their life. Sometimes, you only get one chance to get it right on a critical medical decision. Prime got a second chance, and got of "easy" only losing two toes. I hope it turns out OK for him, but he should reconsider rushing into a decision so that he can be on the sidelines this Fall, otherwise, he could be permanently sidelined.
Been reading quite a few medical journal articles by European MDs. Have noticed on several papers something rarely seen by US MD authored papers:
"Funding: This article received no external funding.
Conflicts of Interest: The authors declare no conflict of interest."
