"Broncos LB Drew Sanders, an up-and-coming defender, suffered a tendon injury in his foot in practice that will keep him out an extended period of time, sources say post-MRI," Rapoport wrote on X. "Sanders is not expected back before the season begins and further testing will determine what's next."

Denver Broncos linebacker Drew Sanders injured a tendon in his foot Saturday in training camp. The injury will cause him to miss significant time and potentially put his availability for Week 1 in question, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The news for us was good news, in that it’s a ligament in his foot and it’s not a tendon,” Head Coach Sean Payton said.
