Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders has come out with health issues. He did not go into details about the incident.

However, he indicated that it was about his heart.

Sanders is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. He played for the Lions from 1989 to 1998.

“Over Father’s Day weekend, I experienced a health issue related to my heart,” Sanders wrote in a statement on social media. “It was unexpected and reminded us how important it is to remain vigilant about our physical well-being, even when we are feeling well.

“I am grateful for the wonderful doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who provided me with the care I needed. My family and I are grateful for your prayers and support during this time.”

It appears that Sanders will need some time to heal and recover.

“As recommended by my doctors, I am taking this opportunity to prioritize my health and well-being,” he said. “I appreciate your understanding and continued support.”
