Deion Sanders’ girlfriend provided an update early Saturday regarding the health of the Colorado coach after he underwent emergency surgery on Friday.
Tracey Edmonds posted to Instagram that Friday was a “long, but successful day” and that Sanders was “resting comfortably and doing great” following the procedure. That would appear to indicate that Sanders’ surgery was a success.
Sanders has had some ongoing health problems, particularly with regard to his feet. Friday’s procedure was linked to a blood clot in his groin, and it is not clear how much connection that has to his foot issues. Sanders is considering a different procedure to deal with that.
Sanders is preparing to embark on his first season as head coach at Colorado. He has already made a big splash for the Buffs and has attracted plenty of national attention to the long-moribund program.
