Broncos LB Drew Sanders suffers foot injury, expected to be out for ‘extended period,’ per report
Denver Broncos’s secondary stored Sanders injured a tendon in his foot on Saturday in the training camp. The injury will make him miss an important time and potentially put his availability for week 1 in question, according to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network.
The former third round choice made his career trajectory stopped last spring when he torn his Achilles tendon and missed almost all 2024 season. The injury buoyant backlit again in the camp while he was transported on the ground and helped in the installation of the broncos. He couldn’t put any weight on his leg, according to 9news in Denver.
Coach Sean Payton did not give details on Sanders’ injury in his availability of post-pratic media, but if there were a minimum of good news, it is that the secondary did not reinstate his Achille tendon.
“It’s not his Achilles, but I want to wait and see once the doctors do the MRI,” said Payton.
When he is in good health, Sanders projects himself as a high -level garnish in the secondary for broncos in his third year as a pro. He and Justin Strnad are the main reserves behind the starters Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw.
Denver chose Sanders with selection n ° 67 in the draft of the NFL 2023, and he had an immediate impact as a recruit with 24 plated and a breakdown recovery. He started four games and appeared in the 17th in a good start to his career. The Achilles injury occurred in April and held Sanders out of action until the broncos activate it from the list of puppies in late November 2024. He won his first career bag during his first scrum game.
Sanders was out of university competition at Arkansas after his transfer from Alabama. He won the 2020 national championship in the first year, was launched in a starting role with the Crimson Tide in the second year and prospered in his only year with the Razorbacks as the first All-American team. Sanders punctuated the Arkansas in the plated (103) and the bags (9.5) when he made the potential he had worn as a five -star recruit.
