The Panthers’ decision is fairly surprising, as the two sides could not come to an agreement on a restructured contract.</p><p>“Miles Sanders released by #Panthers after both sides negotiated a restructure — which Sanders was willing to do — but they couldn’t agree, per source,” Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>In 2023, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/panthers-news-carolina-contract-eagles-miles-sanders-4-years">Sanders and the Panthers agreed to a four-year, $25 million contract</a>. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Sanders <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1899497846253977772" rel="noopener">was set to make $6.7 million in 2025</a>. Pelissero added the move serves as “cap and cash savings for Carolina.”</p><p>Sanders is a reliable running back. The 27-year-old is a former Pro Bowler with six years of NFL experience. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/3-panthers-cut-candidates-2025-offseason">Sanders emerged as a cut candidate</a> this offseason, something that ultimately came to fruition on Tuesday.</p><h2><b>Miles Sanders preparing for next chapter of career after Panthers release</b></h2><p>Sanders spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He earned his first and only Pro Bowl selection in 2022, which was also his final season in Philadelphia. In 2022, Sanders rushed for a career-high 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ended up signing with the Panthers following the 2022 campaign.</p><p>Sanders was unable to replicate his success in Carolina, however. He recorded only 432 yards and one touchdown in 2023, but it is worth mentioning that he started only five games while appearing in 16 contests.</p><p>He was limited to a total of 11 games played (two starts) in 2024. As a result, he rushed for just 205 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>At 27 years old, Miles Sanders can likely still positively impact an NFL team. In fact, it would not be surprising to see Sanders earn a starting job somewhere. He has displayed the potential of a star in the past.</p><p>The Panthers are set to move in a different direction, though.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After missing all three of their top running backs in Week 17, Miles Sanders is set to come off injured reserve and play in the regular season finale.</p><p>Carolina <a href="https://x.com/Panthers/status/1875616143018524857" rel="noopener">activated</a> Sanders, who had been dealing with an ankle injury, on Saturday, they announced on X, formerly Twitter. Sanders has not played since Week 10, when he was carted off the field in Germany against the New York Giants. He was later diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.</p><p>Sanders’ activation comes roughly one week after the Panthers were forced to place starting running back Chuba Hubbard on injured reserve. Hubbard’s calf and knee injury ended an impressive season that saw him top 1,000 yards for the first time in his four-year career.</p><p>Without Hubbard, all three of the Panthers’ top backfield options were on injured reserve in Week 17. Rookie <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-jonathon-brooks-re-tears-acl-3-games-into-nfl-career">Jonathon Brooks has missed</a> all but three games in 2024, leaving Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone to lead the group. Blackshear and Boone combined for just 31 rushing yards in Carolina’s 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p><p>Entering Week 18, Sanders has fielded just 38 carries for 139 rushing yards. He is two years removed from signing a lucrative $25 million contract with the Panthers during the 2023 offseason.</p><h2><b>Miles Sanders, Panthers end 2024 against Falcons</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Miles-Sanders.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Having long been eliminated from the playoffs, Sanders will return for one final act in the 2024 season. The Panthers enter Week 18 at 4-12 and face the 8-8 Atlanta Falcons, who still hold out hope for the final NFC Wild Card spot.</p><p>Despite the poor record, the Panthers have many positives to take away from the second half of the year. After getting off to another sluggish start, Carolina has finally gotten something out of former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young after he re-gained the starting job. Young has gone just 3-6 in his second year as the starter but has fundamentally changed the offense to take a form it has not seen in nearly a decade.</p><p>Young’s arm will be on full display in Week 18 against a Falcons defense that has been beaten through the air more often than the ground. Sanders figures to have a rude awakening against an Atlanta front seven that has allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards in 2024.</p><p>Sanders could also potentially play without key blockers in front of him. Guard Robert Hunt and right tackle Taylor Moton are both questionable for the game with respective injuries.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In March 2023, he signed a four-year, $25M contract with Carolina; in that time, he fell to third on the depth chart. The Panthers placed Sanders on injured reserve after he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-miles-sanders-carted-off-ankle-injury-giants">carted off</a> after injuring <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/miles-sanders-placed-on-injured-reserve" rel="noopener">his ankle</a> two weeks ago during the team’s 20-17 overtime win over the New York Giants, per an official team announcement.</p><p>In Sanders’ absence, the Panthers will finally kick the tires on rookie RB Jonathon Brooks, who will make his season debut against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-dave-canales-confirms-jonathon-brooks-debut-chiefs">Dave Canales talked up</a> Carolina’s second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas.</p><p>“Jonathon Brooks ‘absolutely’ is playing Sunday. He had a great week. He’s been involved with the plan, and he looks confident. He was running hard, he was making cuts, you know, kind of starting to develop the second level part of his runs, which is what I wanted to see. I wanted to see him hit the hole, go through it, see the finish and all that. So, I’m excited to get him out there this week.”</p><p>While Brooks will be involved, the Panthers’ backfield belongs to Chuba Hubbard this year. The 25-year-old back averages 81.8 rushing yards per game, the sixth-most in the NFL.</p><h2><b>Panthers don’t know what they’re doing</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Panthers-Jonathon-Brooks-walking-off-field.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Carolina still has Sanders under contract through 2026. Even if they cut him loose this offseason, millions will hit their dead cap. So they throw more money at Hubbard, securing him to a four-year, $33.2M contract extension. That deal was struck in early November.</p><p>The Panthers have $68M in dead cap this year, the fourth-most in the NFL. How is that even possible? They’re still on the hook for guys like Vonn Bell, Hayden Hurst, Donte Jackson and Diontae Johnson for over $9 million each.</p><p>Carolina will owe a $31.3M cap hit for right tackle Taylor Moton. While the 30-year-old is an excellent player, 11.5% of a team’s salary cap shouldn’t be spent on a right tackle. Considering the investments made to Moton, Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, the team should be aware that paying up for a running back isn’t necessary.</p><p>On the bright side, the Panthers will wisely continue to give Bryce Young playing experience. Since being benched in October, he’s started the last three games with mixed results. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-sticking-bryce-young-qb-chiefs-contest">Canales still believes</a> in the 23-year-old signal caller.</p><p>“Bryce will play this week,” Canales said. “This is about the continued progress. It’s about Bryce looking more and more confident as he’s out there. In Germany, I just felt a real confidence and aggressiveness to his play and of course, the end result, winning. He continues to do things to put us in a position to put him back out there and continue to build on that.”</p><p>Carolina and Young are on a two-game winning streak.

But some thing are looking up. The Panthers have played better football recently, stringing together a two-game winning streak. They also got some positive injury news <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-dave-canales-miles-sanders-chuba-hubbard-injury-update">after losing one player during last week’s Germany game</a>.</p><p>Panthers RB Miles Sanders is considered <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1856687807307100553" rel="noopener">day-to-day with an ankle/foot injury</a>, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport. Sanders underwent extensive tests and a visit with an expert. Carolina wants the swelling to go down before getting Sanders back, so he is still expected to miss some time.</p><p>Sanders was carted off the field in Germany, so many Panthers fans were fearing the worst. However, the good news is that it does not appear to be a serious injury.</p><p>Sanders’ injury is not good news for the Panthers, but they have the depth to bounce back from his injury. Starter Chuba Hubbard and second-round rookie Jonathon Brooks are well equipped to handle all of Carolina’s rushing needs while Sanders recovers.</p><h2><b>Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard had career-best performance in Germany</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chuba-Hubbard-RB-Carolina-Panthers.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>One reason for Carolina’s recent successes is running back Chuba Hubbard. He is having a career season and recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-chuba-hubbard-new-contract-worth-37-2-million">signed a four-year contract extension with the Panthers</a>.</p><p>Hubbard rewarded the Panthers with his best career game against the Giants in Germany. He <a href="https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1855683794361348234" rel="noopener">had a heartfelt reaction</a> to learning about his personal best performance.</p><p>“Definitely a blessing,” Hubbard said after the game per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. “I think more than anything I just want to win, so you know to win in that fashion was obviously a little crazy at the end. But to get two in a row with my guys feels good. Especially in Munich.”</p><p>Hubbard had 28 attempts for 153 rushing yards and one touchdown against the Giants in Munich.</p><p>Hubbard had a breakout season in 2023, rushing for 902 yards and five touchdowns. He is currently on pace to exceed those totals, already accumulating 665 rushing yards and five touchdowns through just nine games.</p><p>It is great that Panthers fans have something to feel excited about heading into the future.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/schedule/upcoming">Panthers is a Week 11 showdown with the Chiefs</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Carolina Panthers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Following their second consecutive win, Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales <a href="https://x.com/DNewtonespn/status/1856058353547350060" rel="noopener">dropped an update</a> about running backs Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders, according to David Newton of ESPN.<br><br>“Panthers coach Dave Canales says running back Chuba Hubbard “is good to go.’ Says Miles Sanders is ankle/foot and he’ll have a timeline for any potential time missed later.”<br><br>Hubbard had a dominant showing and arguably the best of his career. He rushed <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HubbCh01.htm" rel="noopener">28 times for 153 yards, and a rushing touchdown</a>. He consistently ripped off first downs and big-chunk plays. The New York Giants defensive unit had no answer for him throughout the game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-chuba-hubbard-reacts-getting-game-ball-after-career-best-performance">Hubbard even got the game ball</a> after the Panthers won.</p><p>For Sanders, his performance left much to be desired. He only had two rushing attempts for five yards on the day. Although Hubbard has been the No. 1 option, Sanders is still reliable at the position. It was only two seasons ago that he posted his lone 1,000 rushing yards and a 10+ touchdown season. Since landing with Carolina, it’s been a downward trend.</p><h2><b>The Panthers will lead with Chuba Hubbard instead of Miles Sanders as RB1.</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dave-Canales-reveals-Chuba-Hubbard-injury-status.jpg"><figcaption>© Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Last season, he only <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SandMi01.htm" rel="noopener">rushed for 432 yards and one touchdown</a>, while starting five games. Hubbard came into the mix and took over the starting role. This offseason, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-make-encouraging-jonathon-brooks-roster-move">Panthers selected Jonathon Brooks</a> from Texas football in the NFL Draft. While Brooks is dealing with an ACL injury, that might be the guy the franchise has their eyes set on.</p><p>Regardless, Hubbard and Sanders are the No. 1 and two options at the spot. This rushing attack has been pivotal in securing the Panthers’ last two wins. Not to mention, one of which was against the New Orleans Saints, their division rival. As a result, quarterback Bryce Young has played some efficient football. He’s completed over 60% of his passes in the last three games. </p><p>Also, Young’s chemistry with Hubbard has been there, especially on checkdowns. Hubbard isn’t the receiving back like Saquon Barkley or Christian McCaffrey but he can get his quarterback out of trouble. The past two games have highlighted Hubbard as the clear option.</p><p>For Carolina, they head into a bye week before taking on the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. With a top 5 defense in the league, the Panthers are in for a tough matchup. If Hubbard can continue his production as the workhorse and the RB1, they can give the Chiefs some problems.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
