Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
A fourth-round selection of the Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft, Sanders will be a healthy scratch for each of the first three games of the 2026 regular season. There doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the Texas product, unless at least one of Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, Darren Waller or Feleipe Franks were to be unavailable. Sanders' next opportunity to suit up is Week 4 against the Lions on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Mike Kaye of ESPN.com suggests the Panthers' decision to sign Darren Waller to a one-year deal Wednesday potentially endangers Sanders' roster spot.
In breaking down the signing of the 33-year-old Waller, Kaye notes it might put the most pressure on Sanders, as opposed to fellow tight ends Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans. Kaye emphasizes that while Tremble and Evans are traditional tight ends that have significant roles as run blockers, Waller and Sanders are both catch-first options at the position and therefore have overlapping skill sets.
