Sanders had a dislocated toe and an inflamed nerve. In September, he had his initial procedure and later returned to the field for practice, but used a golf cart and crutches. During games, Sanders used a push scooter to maneuver up and down the sideline.

Sanders’ toes began to darken under the bandages as he healed.

"They were talking about the amputation of toes," Sanders said. "Then they were talking about the amputation of my leg from the knee down. Then, they were trying to ensure I had life."

Sanders, 54, underwent several surgeries and developed a femoral arterial blood clot. The NFL legend also had compartment syndrome. His leg swelled up, and doctors had to drain fluid from his leg. Sanders eventually had his big toe and second toe amputated.
