Deion Sanders health history: Blood clots to circulation problems, Colorado head coach's various battles
It is known that Sanders has been battling certain health issues, but the nature of the problems is unspecified. However, what we know is that Sanders has had a history of health problems.
Deion Sanders' history of health issues
Sanders has a well-documented history of blood clots and circulation problems. These issues led to complications that ultimately required emergency surgery, and two of his toes had to be amputated.
However, it seems as though Sanders' recent health battle did not land him in the hospital. Instead, his participation became limited over the spring and summer, and he chose the solitude of his Texas ranch to stay away from the chaos and heal. However, he was not alone, but was surrounded by his extended family, as well as chef Eric Smoot, who is believed to have played a pivotal role in Sanders' recovery.

Smoot previously shared a photo of himself with a noticeably slim Sanders on Instagram, captioning it, 'An absolute honor to cook for the legendary @deionsanders over the past few weeks. Grateful for the chance to serve excellence right in his kitchen."
Sanders responded by saying, "You blessed the home, my brother. Your spirit, your meals, your preparation & your tidiness was ! God bless you, man.'
Sanders said earlier this month at Big 12 Media Days that despite his health struggles, he is back to getting to work on the upcoming season. "I'm already back," he said. "I'm here today. I'm handling my responsibilities. So, I look forward to it. I can't wait. You've got to understand, some of the young [players] I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that."

What is Autoimmune Encephalitis? The rare brain disease that forced Aussie athlete Tiana Death to relearn how to walk, talk and write
Synopsis Tiana Death, a former Australian athletics champion, has revealed her diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis, a rare neurological condition. This announcement comes two years after she suffered a major seizure and collapse at home. The 24-year-old athlete experienced severe symptoms, including memory loss and the inability to walk or talk, before receiving the correct diagnosis and beginning treatment. Aussie ex-hurdler Tiana Death was diagnosed with a rare brain condition after years of unexplained seizures and symptoms. (Image: Instagram/tianadeath_) Former Australian athletics champion Tiana Death (pronounced Dee-arthe) has publicly shared her diagnosis of a rare neurological condition, autoimmune encephalitis, two years after she collapsed at home during a major 24-year-old, Sydney athlete who won bronze in the 100m hurdles at the 2017 national championships and competed in the 2018 Youth Commonwealth Games, detailed her story on Instagram last month. She described how her life changed suddenly in 2023 when she was found unconscious in her room and rushed to intensive care. She told Daily Mail that at the time of her collapse, she had been experiencing fatigue, headaches, and flu-like symptoms. She later began having seizures and lost the ability to walk, talk, or open her eyes. Initially, doctors believed a virus may have triggered the condition was so severe that doctors considered placing her in an induced coma. During her hospital stay, Death says she didn't recognize her father and experienced severe memory loss. Autoimmune encephalitis is a rare disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the brain, leading to inflammation, seizures, memory loss, and other neurological issues. Treatment includes high-dose steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy to suppress the immune response. Death began receiving monthly IVIG infusions, using plasma from healthy donors, which helped her regain some functions. She was discharged from the hospital in February and had to relearn basic tasks like walking, talking, and encephalitis is a rare but recognized neurological condition, with an estimated incidence of about 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 people per year. Though it can affect people of any age, it is more commonly diagnosed in children, adolescents, and young adults. The tricky part of being with the illness is that it is often misdiagnosed early on due to its similarity to viral encephalitis or psychiatric disorders, but awareness is wasn't until June this year that doctors officially diagnosed her with autoimmune encephalitis. By then, she had already spent months trying to manage her seizures with epilepsy medication. Her recovery journey has included significant physical and emotional challenges. She has returned to living independently but continues to manage her lifelong illness with regular treatments and medical support.

66 no less than a century: When batter Akash Deep thrilled Shubman Gill, teammates
Shubman Gill and the Indian team were left in awe of Akash Deep's performance with the bat on Day 3 of the Oval Test. Having come in as a nightwatchman on Day 2, Akash showed incredible poise during his innings of 66 from 94 balls and hitting 12 boundaries in the process. His 107-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a hundred, helped India put up a target of 374 runs for England to chase to win the match. While Akash has played entertaining cameos during his career so far, this was an innings of substance that had his captain and teammates singing his praises. In a video released by the BCCI, Gill said that the knock was nothing short of hundred for the team. advertisement"I think these 66 runs of Akash — it's no less than a century," said Gill. The Indian captain revealed that there has been constant banter between the batters and bowlers in the team. He said that the batters constantly keep telling the tailenders to contribute with some runs and the Indian captain felt that Akash settled all the scores with his knock. "For a long time, there's always been this banter going on between us. The batters keep saying, 'You lower-order bowlers, contribute a bit, man.' What to say — I think in this match, they settled all scores with us," said Gill. Akash certainly got a lot of tips along the way with batting coach Sitanshu Kothak and KL Rahul revealing what they told the pacer ahead of Day 3. Kothak said that he told Akash to go for a big shot if the ball was in his arc, rather than defending. "Yesterday when he was in the lift after we reached the hotel, I told him — 'Akash, if you get it in the slot tomorrow, just hit it. Don't defend compulsorily, because in the last two innings you got out defending,'" said Kothak. Rahul said that he advised Akash to think like a batter and not to throw his wicket away. "Yeah, this morning, just had a brief chat and told him to think like a batter and, you know, not throw his wicket away," said KL Rahul. Jaiswal and Prasidh Krishna also praised Akash for his knock in the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Team India (@indiancricketteam)'I'm not going to get out'Akash revealed his mindset during the knock and said that he told himself that he was not going to get out and throw away his wicket. "Last night when I went to sleep, my mindset was that I'm not going to get out. If the ball gets me out, that's a different thing — but I won't throw my wicket. Even if the ball hits the body or hits anywhere, I have to play. Where there was a need to play the ball, I did. With Jaiswal, we had a partnership of over 100 runs — so that's very special for me," said Akash. Akash said, while the fifty was dear to him, the knock was made special by the fact that he spent more than two hours in the middle for the team. "That fifty is special for me, but more special than that is that I played two hours in the morning for the team — that is very special for me," said Akash. The knock from Akash even brought out a smile from India coach Gautam Gambhir as it gave India the advantage on the day. - EndsTune InMust Watch
