Broncos' Drew Sanders suffers torn Achilles, to miss most of season

The Denver Broncos will have to wait to see how much linebacker Drew Sanders had improved from his rookie season in 2023 because the third-round pick a year ago will now miss at least most of the 2024 season. Sanders has had surgery to repair the torn tendon, and his recovery time is expected to be between six and nine months. It does leave open the possibility Sanders, whom the Broncos selected in the third round of the 2023 draft (67th overall), could return before season's end if his recovery goes well.
