Broncos' Drew Sanders: Opens season on PUP list
Sanders (Achilles) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
Sanders has been working his way back from Achilles surgery undergone in May, and he's not likely to play until late November at earliest. The linebacker could very well sit out the entire year, but the team's decision to avoid placing him on injured reserve suggests there's still hope for Sanders in 2024.

Broncos' Drew Sanders: Goes to PUP list
Sanders (Achilles) was placed on the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Sanders is still recovering from the Achilles surgery he underwent in late May, so the injury designation comes as no surprise. The linebacker faces an uphill battle to be available to play at all in 2024, though head coach Sean Payton has expressed some optimism in the past.

Broncos' Drew Sanders: Hopeful for return in 2024
Sanders underwent Achilles surgery this week and head coach Sean Payton expects him back in 2024, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Sanders suffered a torn Achilles at Monday's OTA session with the Broncos, but Payton said Thursday that the linebacker sustained the injury on "an early enough timeline that we'll bring him back," according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Sanders will likely need approximately six months, if not longer, to recover, putting his status for the 2024 campaign up in the air. That said, his head coach's words do instill some confidence that the linebacker could potentially make it back for a portion of his sophomore campaign in the NFL.

Broncos' Drew Sanders: Suffers serious injury
Sanders suffered a torn Achilles on Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
The second-year linebacker played in all 17 games as a rookie but started only four, making 24 tackles. Sanders was likely to play a role in Denver's inside linebacker rotation with projected starters Alex Singleton and Cody Barton. Now, the 2023 third-round pick will miss most or all of the 2024 campaign.
