Denver Broncos WRs Emmanuel Sanders, Isaiah McKenzie out with sprained ankles

Denver Broncos wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Isaiah McKenzie sustained sprained ankles Sunday night and will miss the team's Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, coach Vance Joseph said Monday.

"They're out this week and will be week-to-week after that," Joseph said in a radio interview on Orange and Blue 760.

Sanders exited the Broncos' 23-10 loss to the New York Giants late in the third quarter after he was hit in the lower right leg by safety Landon Collins on an incomplete pass.

Sanders, who is second on the team in catches (25) and yards receiving (266), was on the ground being tended to by team medical personnel for several minutes before being helped off the field. The 30-year-old did not put any weight on the ankle as he was being assisted to the bench before later being taken to the locker room on a cart.

McKenzie, who also serves as the team's punt returner, exited shortly thereafter when he fell awkwardly while leaping for a pass. The 22-year-old has one catch for zero yards this season.
