Drew Sanders Injury: Has torn ligament in foot

Sanders has a torn ligament in his foot, and not a torn tendon as originally feared, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

The inside linebacker suffered the injury during Saturday's practice and had to be carted off. It was initially feared to be a torn tendon, which, as Broncos coach Sean Payton explained Monday, would have been more serious, per Evans. The 2023 third-round pick, who missed most of last season with a torn Achilles and projects as a backup to Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw, could still be out for 4-8 weeks, according to Payton.
