ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Coach Gary Kubiak says the Broncos dodged major injuries to first-round draft pick Shane Ray and star wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in their 26-23 overtime win at Cleveland.
Ray has a sprained right MCL and is expected to miss a few weeks. Sanders has a bruised left shoulder but should be back for the showdown against Green Bay on Nov. 1 following both club's bye week, Kubiak said Monday.

Also, inside linebacker Corey Nelson (ankle, knee) is day to day, Kubiak said.
