DENVER - Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was declared dead by Wikipedia after a vicious hit during Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.

However, the Wikipedia report of his untimely death was greatly exaggerated, according to Sanders.

Sanders took the brutal hit from Rams safety Rodney McLeod during the third quarter of the game at the Edward Jones Dome. Medical staff helped Sanders off the field for a concussion evaluation soon after.

That's apparently when fans noticed an update to Sanders' listing on Wikipedia displaying his place of death as St. Louis.

The "death" notice on Wikipedia wasn't up for very long, but there was enough reaction to prompt Sanders to tweet about it on Monday, saying "Someone changed my Wikipedia 2 I died last night in St.Louis. lol I guess I'm resurrected."The Wikipedia account of the person who made the change was deleted.

McLeod ended up receiving a 15-yard penalty for the hit against Sanders, but it couldn't help the Broncos catch up to the Rams who won the game 22-7.
