MILES SANDERS NEWS

Unlikely for Week 12 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Sanders (foot/ankle) is considered week-to-week and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com report...

Impact Sanders was carted off the field with the lower-body injury during the Panthers' Week 10 overtime win over the Giants on Nov. 10, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting three days later that the running back was viewed as day-to-day. Despite having the benefit of a Week 11 bye to aid in his recovery, Sanders' injury looks to be more significant than the Panthers initially believed, as he wasn't on the field for the team's unofficial practice session Monday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. Sanders has been serving as the top backup to lead back Chuba Hubbard this season, but rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) is poised to make his NFL debut Sunday and could retain the No. 2 role even once Sanders is back to full health.

Viewed as day-to-day Sanders is considered day-to-day after undergoing extensive tests on his foot/ankle and meeting with a specialist Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport's report doesn't offer a precise diagnosis for the lower leg injury that Sanders suffered in this past Sunday's overtime win over the Giants, but the Panthers aren't expecting the running back to be in store for a long absence. Sanders will benefit from a Week 11 bye, but he'll need the swelling in his foot/ankle to go down before he's cleared to resume practicing. Even if Sanders is ready to go for the Panthers' next game Nov. 24 versus the Chiefs in Week 12, he could drop to third on the depth chart in the backfield behind Chuba Hubbard and rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee), the latter of whom is likely to be ready to make his NFL debut.

Seeing specialist Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that Sanders is seeing a specialist for his knee/foot injury Monday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact Sanders played six offensive snaps and rushed twice for five yards before exiting Sunday's win over the Giants with a knee/foot injury. Canales also noted the team doesn't have much information on Sanders' injury at the moment, but they should know more following Monday's specialist visit. The Panthers have a Week 11 bye, giving Sanders an extra week to recover regardless of the severity of his issue.

Rough outing in win Sanders rushed twice for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints. He also caught both of his targets for minus-5 yards.

Impact Sanders was highly inefficient in the Panthers' second win of the season Sunday, losing yardage on three of his four touches. He appeared to be one of Bryce Young's favorite targets after posting a team-high seven catches in Week 8's loss to the Broncos; however, he was targeted just twice in Week 9. Expect Sanders to continue seeing little offensive work in Week 10's matchup against the Giants, especially with 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) potentially making his NFL debut.

Career high in catches Sunday Sanders gained seven rushing yards on his lone carry but caught all seven of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

Impact With Bryce Young back under center for the Panthers, Sanders wound up leading the team in receptions as he became the top check-down option for the second-year QB. The seven grabs were a career high for the sixth-year RB, but he came into Sunday with only 12 catches on 17 targets over the prior seven games. The performance could still be a preview of Sanders' role in the second half of 2024 if Young remains the starting quarterback, especially if Chuba Hubbard gets traded to make room for rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) as Carolina's early-down back.

Heavily involved Sunday Sanders rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos. He also caught all seven of his targets for 38 yards.

Impact The 27-year-old running back greatly benefitted from Bryce Young serving as the Panthers' top signal-caller in Week 8, as Sanders saw increased opportunities through the air. He led Carolina in receptions and tied rookie Xavier Legette for the most targets. While Sanders' increased usage Sunday is intriguing, his role is expected to dwindle in the coming weeks with 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) returning from injury.

Efficient in Week 7 Sanders rushed three times for 34 yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. He also caught one of his two targets for minus-6 yards.

Impact Sanders tallied an extremely efficient 11.3 yards per carry in Sunday's loss. However, he touched the ball just four times for the third consecutive week, as Chuba Hubbard remains the Panthers' top running back. Jonathon Brooks (knee) returned to practice this week and is expected to suit up in the coming weeks. Once Brooks makes his NFL debut, Sanders will likely be the odd man out in Carolina's backfield.

Sees limited work again in Week 6 Sanders took three carries for one yard and caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

Impact The second-year Panther was an afterthought once again in Carolina's Week 6 loss, as Chuba Hubbard posted another efficient near-100 yard rushing performance. Sanders has now seen just eight total touches across the Panthers' last two games, and his workload will likely continue to decrease with Jonathon Brooks (knee) expected to return to practice next week.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Just four touches vs. Bears Sanders rushed two times for six yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bears. He also caught two of his three targets for 27 yards.

Impact Sanders didn't benefit from the Panthers playing from behind for most of Sunday's contest, as Carolina was trailing 27-7 in the first half. With Chuba Hubbard tallying another efficient, near-100-yard rushing performance (97 yards on 13 carries), and 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) expected to return from injury in the coming weeks, Sanders' role in the Panthers' backfield will likely continue to diminish.

No injury designation Sanders (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sanders returned to full practice participation Friday after sitting out Thursday. He's had the same role each week this season, getting 5-7 carries and 2-4 targets on 31-42 percent snap share. Sanders figures to handle similar workloads until Jonathan Brooks (knee) is ready to return from the non-football injury list, which may still be a few weeks out given that the Panthers didn't open the rookie's practice window this week.

Misses Thursday's practice Sanders (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanders popped up on Thursday's injury report with an illness after practicing in full Wednesday. The Penn State product's participation Friday will likely provide a clearer indication of his potential availability for Week 5, as the Panthers travel to Chicago. If Sanders cannot overcome his illness by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone to serve as the Panthers' top reserve running backs.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Nine touches in Week 4 Sanders rushed six times for 32 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added three receptions on four targets for 14 yards and no touchdowns.

Impact Sanders logged his highest total yardage of the season in Week 4, but he remains in Chuba Hubbard's shadow, as Hubbard posted his second consecutive 100-plus yard rushing performance and has now logged 290 total yards across his last two games. While Sanders is currently Carolina's No. 2 running back, he could be further demoted once Jonathan Brooks (knee) returns from injury in the coming weeks.

Inefficient in Week 3 Sanders rushed seven times for 17 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact After Chuba Hubbard's monster game Sunday, in which he recorded over 150 total yards on 26 touches, Sanders appears to be firmly in Carolina's No. 2 running back role. This is the second week in a row that Sanders has struggled on the ground, accumulating just 37 rushing yards on 14 carries during that time. However, Andy Dalton taking over at quarterback reinvigorated the Panthers' offense, and Sanders could benefit from better opportunities as the season progresses.
