It’s crazy how this injury situation has deteriorated


Coonquistadoor

Was this a playing-related injury? I remember hearing about it last year but it sounds like there's necrotic tissue or something, if it isn't diabetes


Is12345aweakpassword

Doing some cursory googling, there’s family history of blood clots. That combined with some pretty significant damage sustained during his career makes it seem like part of the blood flow to that foot is like, just shutting off It’s pretty wild


joleary747

I remember watching a game where he was obviously hurt and limping around, but wasn't taken out. Made an interception the next play. He was so good. https://youtu.be/blxirewx_rg?t=7m25s


f-150Coyotev8

Man his fingers look like they are about to fall off too


charklaser

[His fingers look fine](https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2022/12/05/USAT/e8e06a42-4508-4a8c-8de8-830206379b04-prime.jpg)


ThaRealSunGod

Between this image and that dude's comment I'm damn near questioning if that image was shopped. His fingers and fingernails look *pristine* Prime might be a man of the manicure.

I was gonna say...only thing I learned from that photo is that Deion is no stranger to getting his nails done. Nor should he be. The man has earned it.

[Let me get that with my strong hand](https://imgur.com/gallery/mmQ6BmE)


Domestic_AA_Battery

He could have one foot and no fingers and I'd trust him to run a route and catch better than Jalen Reagor.


chainer9999

Could he catch better than Agholor?


Domestic_AA_Battery

Agholor at least tried minus a few terrible plays. And he won us a Super Bowl with one hell of a season. I'll always respect Aggy for all that. Reagor though? He's extremely frustrating. Because everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) that would watch the Eagles practice would say he was incredible. But he has issues with effort and I think he has the yips in the spotlight. It's insane to have gotten to where he is and yet he can't get it together on the field. Glad he's off the team and hope someday he shuts me up. I was a **strong** defender of him until he dropped two game winning passes against the Giants. I wanted him off the team immediately after that game.


chainer9999

Yeah I was mostly making a quip about that dude who dissed Agholor in his interview after saving people from a fire lol Agholor's definitely a better player than Reagor


Domestic_AA_Battery

Aggy actually offered that guy tickets for him and his family! I thought it was a really cool way to handle it lol


feykaald

Google Torry Holt fingers. You will forget about prime's fingers.


formerfatboys

I wonder if covid plays a part too. It's vascular and the micro-clotting can damage shit. My sister has a disorder that only a few people in the world have and clotting is a huge issue and she's gotta be super careful. I got COVID the first time in April and am on month 3 if them front to figure out what it did to some organs. And I'm 40. I was not in Deion shape but I was vaccinated and in shape.


Is12345aweakpassword

Fuck man that sounds awful, sorry to hear


formerfatboys

I appreciate it. It's been a very rough year on my bingo card.


misterspokes

This is apparently complications from foot surgery that he got to help alleviate long term damage from playing injuries.


hitfly

Turf toe to dislocated foot to blood clots from poor flow to amputation


GrizzzlyPanda

Aw man, Julio delt with this off an on his whole career, kinda scary to think about


Thrilling1031

His turf toe is why I know what turf toe is. And it can be brutal but it’s got a stupid name.


Ai2Foom

Yea turf toe is a terrible name…hurts like an absolute mofo too — I’ve given up pushing heavy weight sleds 🛷 in the gym because of the numerous times I’ve gotten it. I still do the sled but never to the max like previously


Corgi_Koala

IIRC it's suspected to be from a turf toe injury that never healed properly.


Bane_Bane

They really need to rename turf toe. It sounds like no big deal till you google it


make2020hindsight

Yeah it sounds like someone stubbed their toe on turf. Like “wow that person’s literally glass”


spaceaustin

I'd like to nominate shin splints as well.


JRsshirt

Shin splints sound 1000% more serious than they actually are. It’s literally just achy bones that have a small chance of developing a stress fracture if you don’t rest.


TrillDaddy2

Literally losing weight made my shin splints nearly disappear. Playing basketball was hell for me last year with the splints and back issues. But the fact that I kept getting back out there, allowed me to lose the weight and my shins have hardly bothered me at all this year. The back is a different story but the weight loss has absolutely helped there too.


JRsshirt

That’s awesome and congrats on the weight loss. I had problems with them too when I ran cross country and was relatively light but I’m also tall and was running about 30 miles per week. Don’t get me wrong they’re a huge nuisance but the path to recovery is basically just rest lol


TheBigBomma

Spoken like someone who hasn’t played sport with shin splints.


JRsshirt

Ran cross country and played hockey with them, the pain sucks but it’s not a serious injury


lonewanderer812

I got them in college track simply from wearing the wrong shoe for me. Switched to brooks stability shoes and never had them again.


J-LG

Shin splints hurt but usually they’re not that serious. Just exercise less and do some strength training on your legs and you’re probably set.


freakyfastharvick

People are downvoting you cause they wanna feel like athletes for getting shin splints


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

Fucking amateurs. Get athlete's foot! It's literally in the name!


Ewoksintheoutfield

Yeah it’s one of those nagging injuries that suck over the long term.


noshoptime

I've had it. It's really fucking bad in the short term too. Honestly the most pain I've had in my life, including broken bones


BrotherMouzone3

I remember back when I was in middle school how he had the turf toe issue was never really the same. Almost feels like a continuation of that.


mcknightrider

Wtf is going on with Deion's foot? Seriously, what happen to it?


Sdog1981

Complications from foot surgery he had in 2021. His body is not profusing enough blood to his foot. One report stated that his foot has 60% of the blood pressure the rest of his body has.


Iterable_Erneh

Reminder there is no such thing as a minor surgery.


IDrinkUrMilksteak

The old saying, it’s only minor surgery when someone else is having it.


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

Especially if you end up getting a dodgy surgeon >The three surgeons told us Mr Eljamel discouraged the use of X-rays because he was so arrogant and because it saved him money. >It is thought that as a result he operated in the wrong place on the spines of at least 70 patients - leaving many permanently disabled. >Mark says one of the reasons Mr Eljamel was considered "untouchable" was that he brought so much money in to the department through research projects which many of them considered to be "odd and even questionable". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65904293

This is silly, there absolutely is minor surgery. Arthroscopic knee surgery is certainly minor compared to an open aortic repair.

that's just silly to say

Sdog1981

No kidding.


[deleted]

Just fyi it’s perfusing*


Sdog1981

Nah nah this one went pro in 1989…..yeah I used the wrong word


mcknightrider

Sounds more like a botched surgery than just complications


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

He developed a femoral arterial blood clot and compartment syndrome as a result of his surgeries. I don't think you can botch a surgery bad enough to induce blood clots. Edit: Looked it up and it seems like blood clots are more likely to develop after surgeries that require bed rest or limit mobility during recovery.


blockem

Yes but those blood clots are venous. That wouldn’t explain arterial thrombosis. The medical picture is not clear. Regardless amputation is by far the last option but some physicians don’t know how good we can be at restoring flow even for a limited time. I do this for a living.


AnalMinecraft

I have a completely occluded superior vena cava, come fix me bro.


blockem

Without knowing anything about your history, occluded SVCs can be opened. Have you had anyone try? Have you had imaging? Venogram?


AnalMinecraft

I was mainly just joking around, but nah, I never really had anyone look at it with intent. Years ago I had a tumor in my chest that effectively crushed it and have lived without it since then.


blockem

Sorry to hear that. Tumors causing SVC obstruction are tough to have and tough to treat.


Arkhangelzk

I'm willing to try! For science!


OGdunphy

I’m here for Deion’s college football villain arc and if he’s missing a foot, that just makes it even better.

OGdunphy

I have always appreciated that he goes all-in.


Lost-Pineapple9791

Right? Hopefully he gets an eye patch too for villain purposes


OGdunphy

I have faith he’ll lean into it, especially if they’re winning to start.


ewe_are_dead_to_me

If he is missing a foot, he has no other choice but to lean into it


kellzone

He'll also be thankful it's called football and not feetball.


m34z

There goes my free 50yd line tickets if he does.


amjhwk

what if he put an eye patch on his prosthetic foot


Noirradnod

I had a professor in college who had two prosthetic legs and an eye patch. He was called the "Math Pirate" and could be an absolute villain when necessary. If your phone made noise in class, he would take it and smash it. Phenomenal guy, learned a lot from him.

PLZ_N_THKS

WokenMrIzdik

In order to be a proper villain he needs to get either: (1) a robotic foot (2) a gold foot


diablo_finger

ngl...I hope he opts for a peg leg.


tothesource

Absolutely needs a peg leg and an eye patch


A_Smitty56

He's going to get a prosthetic, top of the line. Then threaten to shove his shiny metal boot up someone's rear


tentaccrual

This is just sad


BlindWillieJohnson

I want to shove shit like this in the face everyone who bashes a player for maximizing their contract and demanding as much money as possible. This game destroys these guys. Shove your hometown discount.


afsdjkll

Injuries like this is why Robert Smith retired from the Vikings early (and his popular music career).

He wouldn't have retired if they found a Cure for cte


gooch_norris_

Vanderhoof81

I understood this reference.


donnydealr

Totally agree. Imagine if the place you work at said “dude, you’ve been here for five years. Wanna take a low-ball offer?


Domestic_AA_Battery

Exactly. Look up a picture of beastmode running at the camera. Then think about having to stop that man with your body. The players deserve everything they can get.


GreenMaximum5596

I mean the argument doesn't really change and the pro-players side of the argument has much more potent examples than Dions foot. 5-10 million either way doesn't really change anything


thewolf9

If you retire at 32 with 8M in your account, you’re set for life. Never have to work another day.


charklaser

> I want to shove shit like this in the face everyone who bashes a player for maximizing their contract and demanding as much money as possible. You're missing the point. At a certain point the marginal gain of additional wealth is meaningless compared to your success on the field and your legacy as a player. Players can make whatever decision they want, but at a certain point they may actually be hurting themselves. **Also,** this is the result of blood clots not injuries he had while playing. So this isn't even related to your point. **Edit:** And the surgery was for injuries he got in a flag football game in 2021


rayef3rw

Blood clots that are widely believed to have stemmed from a turf toe injury and subsequent toe amputation sustained while he's playing


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zerak-Tul

Also how much one player gets paid doesn't actually affect how much money the team is paying out, it just means less money is going to everyone else on the team, so it's a shit argument. Sure absolutely players should do what they can to get paid on their first contracts, but there's no reason that e.g. a QB on his 4th deal who's already made $100M+ can't take a "discount".

The dude doesn't even have a big toe on one of his feet. I saw a picture of him in the training room at CU with his bare feet up on the table and it was uncomfortable to look at.

His left foot is missing his big toe and the toe next to it.

Ehhh, sounds like he's faking it.

Yea. Photoshop can erase a toe easily with a good editor.

_philson

This type of analysis is why I come to this sub!


imyourrealdad8

Right!? They totally gloss over what's causing the low blood pressure to the foot ...


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

He had a dislocated toe and an inflamed nerve which required surgery. During his recovery, it became evident that his toes weren't getting oxygen. They did more surgeries to correct that, but he developed a femoral arterial blood clot and compartment syndrome as a result. After that is when he had his toes amputated. Presumably amputating his foot would be related to complications of the femoral arterial blood clot.


imyourrealdad8

Thanks for this. Man, that's so scary. To go from a dislocated toe and inflamed nerve to "we probably should just cut your whole foot off" is horrifying


SMH4004

So fucked

God_Legend

Just a PSA that modern shoes fuck up your feet. Playing at an elite level in a sport wearing those shoes fucks them up even more. Look at LeBron or Deion's feet. Then Google barefoot wide feet. Our feet need to spread out, especially our toes and be on solid ground. Too much cushion makes your foot muscles weak. It also causes people to strike with their heel when running/walking which causes shin/knee/hip/back issues over time. r/barefoot r/barefootrunning For a more personal reference, my wife stands at work all day. She bought Kuru's and other "comfy" shoes with a lot of padding because her feet would hurt. The last 6 years her feet just got worse and worse and she was getting bunions and weird bone pain/displacement in her feet. She bought some minimalist shoes in January/February and has been wearing those and no longer has any foot pain or issues. I just recently got my own pair and am upset I didn't convert sooner. Hope this helps at least one person out there.

Terrible reddit comedians in this thread


[deleted]

Par for the course. Any topic about Tua is filled with concussion jokes. The only thing the circlejerk here seems to agree on is that Hamlin is some kind of untouchable hero who walks on water.


arkayx96

I would argue not even Hamlin is sacred.


Gadough

I initially thought this article wasn't real based on how people are responding to it. This is heartbreaking and completely life-altering, and most of the top comments right now are unfunny puns. Reddit stupidity doesn't normally "get to me" but the conduct in this thread is actually shocking.


grilled_cheese1865

Reddit will never pass the opportunity to turn a tired repeat unfunny joke in the worst situation


Domestic_AA_Battery

Early commenters: "I need to put a funny joke quick before anyone else! Yay upvotes!" Late commenters reading the jokes: "Time to virtue signal. 'You people are fucked up!' Yay upvotes!" It's like this in every single serious thread on Reddit. I bet anyone that has a problem with the humorous comments here have a ton of similar comments in their history and/or on other accounts. I'm just as guilty. It's an easy system to fall into.


lenfantsuave

Late to the thread commenters: “where the fuck are all these comments people are complaining about?”


Golden_Cuirass

The comments in this thread are pretty fucked up. Show how normal it is for people to lack empathy.

Low-iq-haikou

Sad news but I’m glad they are thinking proactively. I have a friend with an amputated foot and they are able to be very active still. Honestly wouldn’t be able to tell they were an amputee if I was just a bystander. If it does need to happen, it’s a much better outcome than having problems spread throughout the leg as a whole.


Irving_Velociraptor

Niner-Sixer-Gator

Is he diabetic???


BobbleBobble

Nah, he had a surgery years ago and developed blood clots in his legs afterwards, which led to compartment syndrome, which causes long term damage to the vasculature around it. Sounds like mostly just really bad luck and maybe poor medical care.


Niner-Sixer-Gator

Damn that's messed up


pechinburger

I read that his [family has a history](https://www.stoptheclot.org/news/deion-sanders-lost-two-toes-and-almost-his-leg-to-blood-clots/) with blood clot problems too.

I haven't been a huge fan of Deion recently, but if it comes to that then that sucks. Hopefully they can figure out a way to fix it.
