Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Minimal output in loss
Sanders caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.
Since returning from an ankle injury in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets, Sanders has caught just three of five targets for 19 yards. However, he still operated as the team's top tight end in Week 8, logging 31 offensive snaps to Tommy Tremble's 28. Sanders played a significant role on Carolina's offense before sustaining an injury, catching 11 of 14 targets for 82 yards over the team's first three games. He's expected to be more involved in the passing game during the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, especially if Bryce Young (ankle) returns to action.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Blanks in return
Sanders was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
Sanders returned to in-game action Sunday after missing the Panthers' last three contests due to an ankle injury. However, he wasn't heavily involved in the team's offensive game plan, drawing just two targets. The second-year pro has now caught 11 of 16 targets for 92 yards through four games this season. Although Sanders is expected to continue operating as the Panthers' top tight end in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills, he unlikely to carry much fantasy value, especially if Bryce Young (ankle) is sidelined.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Practices without limits Thursday
Sanders (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Sanders has been ramping up his participation in practice, and Thursday's full session puts him on track to return from a three-game absence Sunday against the Jets. Sanders could jump right back into a prominent role in a favorable matchup against a Jets defense that has allowed a league-high six touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Limited again Wednesday
Sanders (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Sanders now has logged three limited sessions and a full practice in his last four chances to do so, indicating he's nearing the end of his recovery from a high right-ankle sprain that has sidelined him the last three games. His status will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of if he's trending toward a return to action Sunday at the Jets.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Inactive again in Week 6
Sanders (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cowboys, Darrin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Sanders thus will miss a third straight game due to a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered Week 3 versus the Falcons. On a positive note, he followed an LP/DNP/LP practice regimen during Week 6 prep, so he appears to be closing in on a return to action. TEs Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and even James Mitchell will continue to play increased roles in the Panthers offense Sunday.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Appears set for another absence
Sanders (ankle), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 6 tilt versus Dallas, is not likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Sanders suffered a high-ankle sprain against Atlanta in Week 3. He missed Carolina's subsequent two games and appears in line for a third straight absence this Sunday. Sanders did manage to practice in full Thursday this week, but he was limited again Friday and entered the weekend deemed questionable to return to action. If he indeed sits out against the Cowboys, Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans would again be in line to lead the Panthers' tight-end corps.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Viewed as game-time decision
Sanders (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas and will be treated as a game-time decision, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Sanders appeared good to go after a full practice Thursday, but he dropped back to limited status Friday, and now his status is up in the air ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Sanders does end up missing a third straight game, Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans will take on more work at tight end again.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Churns out full practice
Sanders (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
With an uncapped session under his belt, Sanders looks on track to make his return to action Sunday against the Cowboys, after a right high-ankle sprain had kept him out of commission for each of the Panthers' last two contests. Assuming he gets the green light to play this weekend, Sanders should step back in as Carolina's top tight end, which would result in a reduced snap share for Tommy Tremble.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Officially limited Wednesday
Sanders (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.
This marks Sanders' first on-field activity since he sustained a high right-ankle sprain Week 3 against the Falcons. He may need to practice fully by Friday in order to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. In three games this season, Sanders has hauled in 11 of 14 targets for 92 yards and no touchdowns.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Back at practice
Sanders (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Sanders is practicing for the first time since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Week 3 versus the Falcons. After having missed the last two games, it appears the second-year pro could have a chance to return for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. If cleared to play Week 6, Sanders will rejoin Tommy Tremble atop the depth chart at the tight end position.
