Ja'Tavion Sanders

Panthers coach Dave Canales said Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck) avoided serious injury in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs.

Sanders was taken to the hospital after suffering a neck injury in Sunday’s Week 12 contest. Canales said the team is still working through their evaluation of Sanders, but the rookie tight end was in the building on Monday. It seems unlikely that Sanders would suit up in Week 13 against the Buccaneers, which would leave Tommy Tremble to serve as the team’s TE1.
