Emmanuel Sanders ruled out for game with concussion
The Broncos’ slot receiver is taken to the locker room after a brutal hit while trying to catch up to a Peyton Manning deep ball.
Sanders ran down the sideline to catch up with a Peyton Manning pass that was slightly overthrown. Upon stretching out to make the grab, free safety Rodney McLeod led his shoulder into the side of Sanders' body, and his head violently whipped back as he went down. The impact instantly knocked Sanders to the ground, where he stayed for several minutes. He had to be helped off by the Broncos' medical staff.
With Sanders out, the Broncos are left with rookie Cody Latimer and Isaiah Burse at wide receiver. The two have a combined one catch for 9 yards on the season.
