Following light acclimation days last Wednesday and Thursday, the Denver Broncos officially kicked off training camp with practices on Friday and Saturday -- without pads. The first four sessions were meaningful, but things will heat up when the pads come on Monday.

"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 sustained what appears to be a potentially serious lower-leg injury Saturday in training camp. The former third-round pick had his career trajectory halted last spring when he tore his Achilles tendon and missed nearly all of the 2024 season.
