Deion Sanders underwent successful surgery Friday night to fix a blood clot issue that had affected circulation in his foot. His girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds posted an update on Instagram after the surgery.

Sanders, who became the head coach at Colorado earlier this year, has dealt with health issues stemming from poor blood flow recently. He had this surgery in order to stave off potentially needing to amputate his foot. Sanders had two toes amputated during his time at Jackson State after blood clot issues.
