News: 2 days agoThe Panthers placed Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Spin: Sanders had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against Kansas City after spraining his ankle against the Giants in Week 10 prior to Carolina's Week 11 bye. He wasn't able to practice at all this week, and his move to IR means Sanders won't be eligible to return to game action until Sunday, Dec. 22 versus Arizona. His absence comes as rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) appears set to make his NFL debut Sunday while serving as the Panthers' No. 2 back behind Chuba Hubbard.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sanders had a disappointing season in several ways, including being beaten out by Chuba Hubbard for the role of lead back, as well as scoring just one touchdown for a shaky offense led by a rookie quarterback with little protection. A new coaching regime could help Sanders, as maybe he'll be looked upon more favorably, but the fact the Panthers also drafted Jonathon Brooks with the 46th pick could spell disaster for Sanders. This smells like it could end in a crowded committee situation (at best), as Sanders will not only have to compete with Hubbard for the starting job and reps, but with Brooks as well. Sanders will need a big training camp if he's going to be anything more than an injury insurance policy this season.
