Emmanuel Sanders appears to be nearing full strength in his recovery from injuries he's dealt with over the past week.

Denver Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak told reporters following Thursday's practice that he expects Sanders to be a "full go" Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

The wide receiver played last week against the Kansas City Chiefs despite being listed as questionable with an ankle issue, but was held without a catch while also sustaining a finger injury.

He returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday after missing Wednesday's session entirely. News that he'll enter the weekend in line for a full workload is a positive development for a struggling Broncos passing game.

Sanders and fellow receiver Demaryius Thomas will be the top two targets for Brock Osweiler as the fourth-year signal-caller makes his first career start in place of an injured Peyton Manning.
