He called Sanders' ankle injury "week to week," which is a degree stronger than Ian Rapoport's assertion that Sanders would be considered "day to day" last week as the Panthers headed into their bye week. Sanders has a 38/139/1 line on the season as the main Chuba Hubbard backup. Jonathon Brooks will take over that role this week. Sanders can be dropped in any leagues he was still being held in.
Panthers HC Dave Canales said Monday that he "fully expect(s)" rookie RB Jonathon Brooks to play this week against the Chiefs. RB Miles Sanders, meanwhile, is expected to miss the game. He's dealing with foot and ankle injuries.
Panthers running back Miles Sanders was carted off the field during the team's win over the Giants in Munich last Sunday, but it doesn't look like he's going to miss an extended period of time.
Sanders was carted off in Week 10 against the Giants, but his ankle injury doesn't appear to be of the season-ending variety. Rapoport said the team believes Sanders, the team's No. 2 back behind Chuba Hubbard, could "miss a little time." Look for Jonathon Brooks to take on RB2 duties in Week 11 with Sanders out, while Hubbard remains the lead back in the run-first Carolina offense.
