ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Since Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders landed awkwardly on his shoulder late in the Broncos’ Oct. 18 win in Cleveland, his season has been a struggle.
Since then, there has been the ankle injury on the first play from scrimmage in the Broncos’ Nov. 8 loss in Indianapolis, the no-catch game in the loss to Kansas City, to go with 19- and 17-yard games the past two weeks against San Diego and Oakland.
Still, Sanders hopes Sunday's return to Pittsburgh, where he spent the first four seasons of his career, can be a kick-start.
