Sanders struggled to get his foot to heal — and needed a wheelchair and a scooter to get around for months.
The former Dallas Cowboys cornerback said he eventually needed 8 surgeries to try and get his right foot… and one of those procedures apparently involved cutting two digits off his left foot.
Sanders promised to reveal more about the surgeries and complications he experienced in Barstool’s new “Coach Prime” episode. Youtube page It’s 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
