Coloradofootball coachDeion Sandershas been trying to remove the stigma associated with incontinence and bladder issues after having hiscancerous bladder removed in May. He even has discussed theneed for a portable toilet on the sidelineduring games this season. On Friday, Aug. 29, it became clearhe wasn't joking. A Colorado official confirmed thatthe black tented box near the 20-yard lineis Sanders' bathroom if he needs to use it duringFriday night's season-opening game against Georgia Techat Folsom Field. It is sponsored by Depend, the adult underwear brandwith whom Sanders has a partnership. "I know I got halftime, but can I make it through a game?" Sanders said to former NFL receiver Michael Irvin in an interview in July. "What if there's a long quarter? OK, so I start thinking I gotta get a Porta Potty for the sideline." Sanders, 58, had his bladder replaced by a neobladder made out of his small intestine. It's smaller than an actual bladder, requiring more frequent urination. This is Sanders' third season at Colorado after finishing 9-4 last year and 4-8 in 2023. Follow reporter Brent Schrotenboer@Schrotenboer.
