<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">No matter what you&#8217;re going through, never lose the faith! <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nfl-suspends-atlanta-falcons-wide-receiver-calvin-ridley-indefinitely-for-betting-on-games-in-2021/">NFL</a> Hall of Famer legend Deion Sanders is an open book, and he&#8217;s been documenting his journey to recovery after he had a foot injury last year. Today he and his longtime girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds, shared a video of how he recently had to get two toes on his left foot amputated following surgery last September. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/swac/2022/03/08/deion-sanders-has-two-toes-amputated-after-surgery-left-foot/9425578002/">USA Today</a> reports Coach Prime was diagnosed with three femoral arterial blood clots, which doctors categorized as life-threatening.</p>
<p>The blood clots were severe. Reports state the blood clots in the coach&#8217;s calf ran the entire length of his leg, and he developed compartment syndrome. If you&#8217;re not familiar with the syndrome, it involves muscle pressure reaching levels that could limit the flow of blood and oxygen. Following the video, Coach Prime shared a lengthy caption on Instagram.</p>

<p>&#8220;I told y&#8217;all we were gonna show it all in this documentary, and that&#8217;s what this is. I got to warn ya. This ain&#8217;t a pretty sight! I may have lost a couple of soldiers in the battle, but I never lost my faith in God!&#8221; He continued, &#8220;I endured a lot while I was in the hospital during our historic season, but I am so thankful for GOD being there to help pull me through. I am so thankful for those who sent messages of faith and those who visited me during this troubling time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although Coach Prime was dealing with a foot injury, he still led the Tigers to win the SWAC championship. According to the Clarion-Ledger, Jackson State won 27-10 over Prairie View, making it was the first conference championship for JSU since 2007.</p>
<p>We wish Deion a speedy recovery!</p>
