| Miles Sanders Confident About Week 1 Return After Groin Injury |
Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders has provided assurance that he'll be ready for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, despite dealing with a recent groin injury.
Miles Sanders Anticipates Week 1 Return Despite Groin Injury
Sanders' return to practice with the Panthers this week marks a positive step in his recovery from a groin injury that sidelined him for a period. While head coach Frank Reich has not confirmed Sanders' availability for the Panthers' final preseason game, Sanders' own statement expresses confidence about his readiness for Week 1.
Barring any unexpected setbacks, it appears that Miles Sanders will assume the role of the Panthers' nominal RB1 when they kick off their 2023 season. His ability to contribute as a primary running back makes him a valuable asset in the team's offensive strategy.
However, fantasy managers should be mindful of the injury and consider contingency plans. Players like Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear may be worth drafting as insurance options in case Sanders encounters any issues or requires additional recovery time during the 2023 season.
Sanders' determination and optimism regarding his Week 1 return are encouraging signs for both the Panthers and fantasy managers. As the regular season approaches, all eyes will be on Sanders' progress, and his status will have implications for the Panthers' offensive game plan and fantasy football lineups alike.
