Twitter: Deion has 2 Toes Amputated

[America's Cowboy]

Maybe Deion can start his own Sourtoe Cocktail Club?

He can still outrun 80 percent of the NFL with 8 digits.

That's what's scary! Prime is still Prime no matter how many toes he has.

Guess that old turf toe injury was more serious than anyone realized back in the day.

I remember Madden calling a game when Deion was playing through that. He said, “Deion is the best corner in the NFL but he isn’t the best with only 9 toes.” That quote always stuck with me. Hope Deion has a safe recovery.

Never liked him, but I wish him no ill will....

 

[conner01]

That’s some scary stuff. Infection and blood clotting is no joke

Very serious and can be deadly
Hopefully it’s all cleared up now

Either that or he has been hanging around JPP.

 

[Captain-Crash]

agree, never cared much for him.

Hmm, I wonder if Prime just had that done a day or so ago and that might have been why JJ did not go to the combine so he could be there? Just a thought...that would be something both HOF'ers would do for each other.

I remember it being pretty bad even back then. I don't think he was ever the same after it...

I might be able to outrun him now HaHa. Hang in there Deion.

Another thought...I think JJ might be with Prime to try and talk him into coaching the Dallas Cowboys? He took a bad football team in College and (bad as ours is) and in a year or so made them Champs! This why JJ is not at the combine.

"Three Toes" Sanders? I like the sound of it. has a Sopranos feel to it.

Honestly... you get a like just for the Sopranos reference.

IMO - Sanders pushed the limit of his body recovering from that injury by continuing to play after Dallas released him following the 1999 season.
Signed with Washington the following year.
Then - retired for THREE SEASONS - only to come back to play for Baltimore for two years.

With severity and complications reported surrounding Sanders' condition- it could have been worse.
Wishing him a speedy & complete recovery.

My uncle had a turf toe injury his junior year in college that after graduation not only prevented him from being drafted by the NFL but the US military as well. Fortunately he was given FA tryout .

It bothered him his entire life and looked wicked.

 

[Floatyworm]

I won't be impressed until he donates them to the HOF.

 

[J_Allen]

I'm pretty sure he had foot surgery before joining the Cowboys. That's why he didn't make the start of the 1995 season.

Its a more respectable loss then the moron DE from the Giants that blew his fingers off on the 4th of July.

The later is pretty common these days

Was that the injury from 98 or 99? That sucks. Get well soon Prime. I hope he's alright from here on out. I hate seeing stuff like this.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Sad to hear, get well prime!!

My dear lad. May you bounce back as you have many times.
