The linebacker appeared to have suffered some kind of leg injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have any update,&#8221; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/denver-broncos\/332\" data-autotag=\"80ecb2c2-c4e3-4c9a-8c53-01c0a2da3542\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Broncos<\/a> coach Sean Payton said after practice. &#8220;We don\u2019t have any information yet, so we\u2019ll give it to you [when we have it]. It\u2019s not his Achilles, but I want to wait and see once the doctors do the MRI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Sanders did not reinjure his Achilles. The 24-year-old linebacker tore his Achilles last spring and spent most of the 2024 season working his way back from that injury. We&#8217;ll know more about the severity of this latest injury after the linebacker undergoes more testing.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Arkansas, has totaled 32 tackles and one sack in 21 games (four starts) in Denver, including four appearances late last season. The Broncos are off Sunday, so we might not get another update on Sanders until Payton speaks again Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Social: Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Broncos Wire<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BroncosWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thebroncoswire\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>!
