The Denver Broncos have managed to string together a couple of wins heading into their matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. It appears the receiving corps will be at full strength with Emmanuel Sanders back in the mix.
Sanders was sidelined with a knee injury during Denver's 16-0 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Fortunately, he is on track to play at home against Kansas City, via Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports:
Emmanuel Sanders listed as a full participant on the Broncos expected practice report. Good sign he’ll be ready to go against the Chiefs.
Sanders' participation is certainly an encouraging sign for his status against the Chiefs. Although the Broncos may be operating on a short week, it appears the injury is not deemed to be too severe. His activity throughout the week should further solidify the notion that he will be ready to go.
Sanders got off to a hot start in the 2019 NFL season as the most viable option in the passing game for quarterback Joe Flacco. Unfortunately, his production has dipped mightily as of late with only two receptions for nine yards over the last two games. Although the injury versus Tennessee certainly did not help, the emergence of wide receiver Courtland Sutton has also played a part.
The veteran will now be looking to get back on track against a porous Chiefs secondary. If Sanders is limited in any fashion, this would open the door for wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton to potentially take on an increased role.
