Sanders Has Surgery

Deion Sanders underwent successful surgery on his left ankle.

“We are very, very encouraged by the results of the surgery,” Dallas Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said after the 1-hour procedure.

Dr. John Uribe of the Health South Doctor’s Hospital performed the surgery on Sanders, who wrapped up his baseball season with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

“We have no idea on a timetable for him to be on the field,” Dalrymple said. “Doctors removed two loose bodies (fragments) from the ankle. “

New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe reportedly visited renowned orthopedics expert Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., to have a series of tests performed on his separated left shoulder.
