Ja'Tavion Sanders

Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck) was seen practicing Thursday.

Sanders has practiced in back-to-back days for the Panthers this week. Speaking Wednesday, head coach Dave Canales said the rookie was “trending toward” playing in Week 14 against the Eagles, so him shedding the non-contact jersey is a good step in that direction. Assuming he’s active this weekend, Sanders would be a low-end TE2 it what will be one of the toughest defensive matchups for the Panthers this season.
