Miles Sanders Now Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Miles Sanders Now Dealing With Shoulder Injury

one year ago

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) will not practice on Wednesday due to a shoulder issue. Sanders has been on the injury report all year so far with a groin injury he dealt with in training camp, but he hasn't missed any time. It remains to be seen how serious the 26-year-old's shoulder injury is, but we should have a better idea of his status heading into the Week 6 game against the Miami Dolphins after a few more days. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard, who has been more efficient than Sanders through five weeks, is worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup if he's available in your league. In his first year in Carolina, Sanders is averaging a paltry 3.1 yards per carry on 61 rushing attempts. He's racked up 190 rushing yards and a touchdown and 81 receiving yards and a score on 15 catches.
