Overview

  • An MRI on Monday confirmed the high-ankle sprain, according to The Athletic, and the tight end is expected to miss multiple weeks.
  • Sanders was hurt in the fourth quarter of Carolina’s 30-0 win over the Falcons when a defender fell on him after a reception, and he was later seen in a walking boot.
  • Head coach Dave Canales told reporters the team plans to provide its own update on Sanders’ status on Wednesday.
  • The second-year pass catcher has 11 receptions for 92 yards this season after posting 33 catches for 342 yards and a touchdown as a 2024 fourth-round rookie.
  • With Sanders sidelined, Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans have handled tight end snaps while James Mitchell has remained inactive, and the Panthers visit the Patriots on Sept. 28.
