Panthers will have Miles Sanders back at practice this week

The Panthers plan to play their starters in Week 18 against the Falcons and they may also be getting running back Miles Sanders back in the lineup.

Sanders has been on injured reserve since November 23 due to an ankle injury he suffered in the team’s win over the Giants in Germany and head coach Dave Canales said that he will be returning to practice with the team on Wednesday.

“Miles has been cleared,” Canales said, via the team’s website. “Last week, he was cleared to be able to play, so I’m really looking forward to getting him back on the field for practice this week. He was cleared later in the week, so it really wasn’t enough time to get him back into the flow of things for this week, but really looking forward to opening that window and getting him back out there.”

Sanders would help a backfield that lost Chuba Hubbard to a season-ending calf injury. He had 38 carries for 139 yards in 10 games before his injury.
