Drew Sanders is facing yet another injury setback in his young NFL career.
The Broncos linebacker tore a tendon in his right foot during Saturday’s practice, a source confirmed to The Denver Post on Sunday afternoon.
Sanders needed a cart ride from the practice field to the team’s facility when the injury happened. When fellow linebacker Justin Strnad came over to check on him, the third-year linebacker simply responded with a thumbs down signal.
The subsequent imaging showed tendon damage. The team and Sanders are still working through exactly what the treatment plan will look like and whether he’ll need surgery, a source said, so the exact timeframe for his recovery and potential return is not yet known.
