Drew Sanders participated in practice for the first time since suffering a torn Achilles tendon in April, demonstrating good mobility. As a 2023 third-round pick, he played all 17 games as a rookie, recording 13 solo tackles and a fumble recovery. The Broncos have 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster or keep him on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the season. His return is anticipated to bolster the linebacker corps, especially after the team traded former starter Baron Browning. Sanders is expected to ease back in as a reserve rusher, rotating with other linebackers.
