Broncos Activate Drew Sanders, Uncertain Role Ahead

The Denver Broncos have activated linebacker Drew Sanders from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to the 53-man roster after his recovery from an Achilles injury sustained in the offseason. Sanders, a third-round draft pick from Arkansas, has been practicing fully for the past few weeks and is eligible to play in the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns, though Broncos coach Sean Payton has not confirmed his participation or role. Sanders originally played as an inside linebacker but switched to outside linebacker during his rookie season. His activation necessitated the waiving of tight end Greg Dulcich, who was claimed by the New York Giants, to meet the deadline for adding Sanders to the active roster by Wednesday and avoid him remaining on the PUP list for the season.
