Deion Sanders healthy in return, says Colorado 'fine' after loss

BOULDER, Colo. -- Deion Sanders ran onto the field with his Colorado team Friday night, just months removed from having surgery to replace and reconstruct his bladder after a tumor was found this spring.

Sanders, 58, jogged past a portable toilet placed next to Colorado's bench area for him to use during the game, which had been sponsored by Depend, the adult incontinence undergarment company. He slowed near the South end zone and gently tapped his players who were kneeling in prayer.

After the most serious health issue in a series of them the past five years, Sanders said he "felt good," adding, "I don't feel good right now, but I felt darn good during the game.
