Sanders to play for 1st time since Achilles tear

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will play in a game Monday for the first time since tearing his Achilles during a practice last December.

Sanders tweeted Monday that he's "back stronger and better."

Glory to God.. I made it thru my storm and test now tonight I take the field with my teammates again. I'm back stronger and better. Thank you @uchealth for doing such an amazing job on my surgeries. You guys are the best in the world in my opinion. #Letsgo pic.twitter.com/D7ZDqtGGs8

Sanders will be introduced with Denver's starters pregame, run out of the tunnel, and be on field for the first offensive snap when the Broncos host the San Francisco 49ers at 8 p.
