Drew Sanders' Broncos Exit | Denver Broncos News

The Denver Broncos have cut ties with linebacker Drew Sanders, waiving him from injured reserve with an injury settlement — a move that caps a turbulent three-year stint derailed by multiple injuries. Drafted 67th overall in 2023, Sanders showed flashes as a rookie but was sidelined by a torn Achilles before his second season, then missed all of 2025 and part of summer camp with additional setbacks. Despite head coach Sean Payton’s efforts to find him a role — even experimenting with different positions — recurring injuries made sustained development impossible. At just 24, Sanders remains a talented athlete with untapped potential, leaving fans and scouts wondering if another team will give him a shot to prove himself after these injury-plagued years.
