Sanders (groin) wasn't listed on the Panthers' first Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.
Sanders tweaked his groin during an Aug. 9 practice, and despite getting back in full pads by Aug. 21, Carolina held him out for the entire preseason. On Tuesday, Sanders told David Newton of ESPN.com that his intention was to be available Week 1 in Atlanta, and his full participation in practice a day later confirms as much. Now that Sanders' health is no longer a question mark, he's slated to be the Panthers' lead back in 2023, with Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear on hand as depth options.
