A key young piece of the Broncos’ defense may have suffered another tough setback.
Toward the end of Denver’s second full day of training camp Saturday morning, third-year linebacker Drew Sanders was seen carted off the field with an apparent injury. Two staffers helped him into the locker room, as Sanders slung both arms over their shoulders, clearly unable to put much weight on his leg.
The origin of Sanders’ injury wasn’t seen.
A serious injury would mark another grueling chapter in Sanders’ tenure with the Broncos, and weaken an already injury-laden linebacker room. A former standout at Arkansas and a third-round pick by Denver in 2023, Sanders played limited snaps as a rookie and then tore his Achilles in April 2024, knocking him out for all but four games last season.
