Denver WR Emmanuel Sanders ruptures achilles

[bormio]

in practice. Awful injury for his position (any, really). Probably puts end to Broncos’ hopes.

 

[Triumph]

Career ending?

Career ending?

Loss of speed and mobility - likely

 

[TinhWoodhead]

OMG

 

[zoostation]

nasty injury for any position.... but yeah especially receiver

 

[RobertWeathers]

Awful. Not good for a player his age at a position in which speed and explosiveness are key.

 

[farn]

Not that Denver was going to make serious noise this season, but it is another reminder of how important health is for champs... has been the undoing of so many contenders over the years.

 

[PittPatriot]

He is such a good player.
I wish we had nabbed him in free agency when he was restricted in Pittsburgh.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Wow! Terrible injury. Hopefully he recovers.

 

[FCB02062]

Now he's guaranteed to be a Patriot...32 next year coming off an Achilles...

Denver has an easy remaining schedule at SF, vs Clev, at Oak and vs LAC (which could be a rest game for the Bolts) and may still be able to win out.

Sanders is the guy who told the Pats they made a mistake by spending on Amendola instead of on him.
