BREAKING: Panthers RB Miles Sanders injured a finger at Wednesday’s practice

[WarPanthers89]

 

Panthers running back Miles Sanders injured his finger in Wednesday’s practice when he hit it on a helmet. Sanders had his finger wrapped afterward and was headed to get it examined but expects to be ready for the season opener, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

“Sucks this happened before Week 1,” he said.

Coach Dave Canales also said he expects Sanders to play.

Chuba Hubbard beat out Sanders for the job early last season, but both backs will have roles at least until rookie Jonathon Brooks returns. Brooks tore an ACL in November while at the University of Texas.

Sanders had 156 touches for 586 yards and a touchdown last season, his first with the Panthers.

Tight ends Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) and Ian Thomas (calf) did not practice Wednesday, prompting the Panthers to sign tight end Messiah Swinson off the Packers’ practice squad.

Backup tackle Yosh Nijman (tibia) was limited.

@TheSpecialJuan alt?  Breaking?  It might be better he can’t play.

Call up Mike Boone from the PS, at least he knows how to run hard

He's a running back. He'll be fine.

This bum fooled me running behind that Eagles Oline..

He's slow, not explosive, and most importantly he's super SLOW!

 

Has to go down as a top 5 worst signing in Panthers history.

Pretty confident that this news won't move the Vegas line.

This here and if he performs well enough leave him in that role and send Sanders to the non dress list for a while until Boone loses the job with bad play if that would even happen

Healthy run blocking wise I could see the line this year being that good.....

 

Healthy being the monster if..... honestly if you watch more than just his highlights that year you can tell he's below average.
