Sanders explained last week what he was dealing with as doctors warned him about the risks of not getting the blood clots fixed.

“I went to the doctor the other day to check myself out, and I have two clots in my leg,” Sanders said in a social media post. “One in my right leg, one in my left leg, which is my thighs. So now, I’m having a procedure tomorrow to try to get those clots, so now I can have proper blood flow through the leg so they can fix the toes. 

“That’s what’s going on. That is it. You heard it from me. That’s what’s going on. I appreciate you. I appreciate your gestures. I appreciate your prayers.”

Sanders had foot issues while at Jackson State that forced him into a scooter on the sidelines at points during his tenure. He had two toes on his left foot amputated due to blood clots.
