"Sanders is not expected back before the season begins and further testing will determine what's next."

Broncos coach Sean Payton clarified Monday that Drew Sanders suffered a ligament injury, not a tendon injury. That's good news for the linebacker. See our original post below. Denver Broncos inside linebacker Drew Sanders has been hit by the injury bug once again.
