Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders has received custom silicone prosthetic toes for his left foot. The prosthetics follow a medical procedure intended to address a dislocated toe and inflamed nerve, which resulted in life-threatening blood clots in his femoral artery and the subsequent amputation of two toes.

Sanders shared his progress via social media, noting that the prosthetics allow him to return to wearing his standard shoe size and improve his mobility. He expressed optimism regarding the milestone, stating he is “10 toes down again.”
