Overview

• Sanders hobbled off during team drills with a right foot and ankle injury and was immediately carted to the Broncos’ facilities for MRI evaluation.
• Coach Sean Payton said the injury is not another Achilles tear but provided no timetable for Sanders’s return.
• As a 2023 third-round pick who has alternated between inside and outside linebacker, Sanders’s availability is pivotal to Denver’s defensive schemes.
• Right tackle Mike McGlinchey missed his third straight practice wearing a right-leg sleeve, further limiting the team’s on-field continuity.
• Despite offseason additions like Jonah Elliss and veteran signees to bolster depth, ongoing injuries may influence the final roster configuration.
