Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Held without a catch again
Ja'Tavion Sanders failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.Since returning from a neck injury in Week 14, Sanders has seen just two targets and failed to catch either. He was out-produced by Tommy Tremble for the second consecutive game, with Tremble recording three receptions for 18 yards and one touchdown during that span. Sanders' offensive role appears to have diminished as of late, and he will likely continue to split Carolina's top tight end duties with Tremble as the season progresses.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Quiet in return
Ja'Tavion Sanders failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.The 2024 fourth-round pick missed the Carolina Panthers' Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers after sustaining a neck injury the game prior, and he delivered a lackluster performance in his return Sunday. Sanders was not targeted in the final three quarters of the Week 14 loss after failing to connect with Bryce Young on a deep ball in the first quarter. Despite this, the rookie still leads the Panthers' tight end corps in receiving yards (302) and receptions (29) in 11 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to split offensive snaps with Tommy Tremble in Week 15, when the Cowboys visit Carolina.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Back in action Sunday
Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is listed as active Sunday at Philadelphia, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Sanders is back after missing one game due to a neck injury that he sustained following a scary fall back in Week 12 against the Chiefs.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Should play after full practice
Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia after being a full practice participant Friday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said after Friday's practice that he expects Sanders to play, per Joe Person of The Athletic. The rookie missed Week 13 after taking a hard hit Week 12, pausing a run of strong form in which he'd caught nine of 10 targets for 144 yards and a TD over the span of two and a half games. Sanders has been one of Carolina's more productive pass catchers on a per-route basis this year, but he's only been a full-time starter in the absence of fellow tight end Tommy Tremble, who currently is healthy.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Remains limited Thursday
Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) was limited at Thursday's practice.Sanders made an early exit from a Week 12 loss to the Chiefs due to a neck injury, which required a cart for him to get to the locker room and a hospital visit for further evaluation. He didn't practice at all last week before the Carolina Panthers ruled him out for this past Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Sanders got back on the field Wednesday but was donning a red non-contact jersey, leaving him limited. One day later, he had ditched that jersey, per Joe Person of The Athletic, but Sanders' activity level remained the same. Sanders thus will have one more session to prove his health ahead of Sunday's visit to the Eagles.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Practices in non-contact jersey
Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) was a limited practice participant Wednesday while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that he's hopeful Sanders -- who hasn't played since injuring his neck Week 12 -- will be able to return Sunday versus the Eagles. The rookie fourth-round pick didn't practice last week, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field Wednesday, but he'll need to resume handling full-contact reps in short order for a chance at returning to the field Week 14. Tommy Tremble served as Carolina's top tight end and racked up a season-high 77 yards on five catches (eight targets) in the Week 13 overtime loss to the Buccaneers while Sanders was sidelined.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Unlikely to play Sunday
Head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that the Carolina Panthers don't expect Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.Sanders was placed on a backboard and carted off the field just before halftime of this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after he landed on his neck as he was tackled at the end of a 10-yard catch and run. He was evaluated further at a Charlotte-area hospital before getting discharged not long after the game. Canales told Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer on Monday that Sanders avoided a serious injury before adding Wednesday that the rookie tight end may practice later this week.
