Denver wanted to hold on to Emmanuel Sanders for another week and have him play Sunday against Indianapolis. But San Francisco wanted Sanders to play Sunday against Carolina - and now he will.

The move comes after the New England Patriots acquired Mohamed Sanu from the Atlanta Falcons for a second-round pick, per Schefter.
