Panthers TE leaves Tuesday's practice with ankle injury

During Tuesday's Carolina Panthers practice, tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders ended his day prematurely, according to head coach Dave Canales. The team's evaluation suggests Sanders may have sustained an ankle injury. Canales observed, "Yeah, it looked like an ankle—and he wasn't able to finish." Despite the setback, Canales emphasized Sanders had a productive day.

Sanders, a third-year player, logged 29 receptions for 190 yards and a touchdown in his second NFL season, a decline from his rookie year's 33 catches and 342 yards. Thankfully, his team-mate Xavier Legette was cleared of a concussion following his dramatic exit from the workout. Legette was carted off after a hard collision in seven-on-seven drills, tumbling head-first and back onto the field. For the latest Panthers updates, follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X.
