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 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>

That will thrust Raheem Blackshear into the backup running back role for the rest of the contest, as Jonathan Brooks was ruled out for this contest as he waits to make his NFL debut.</p><p>This is obviously a less than ideal development for Carolina, but they are still in position to pick up a big win over New York, which would ease the loss of Sanders ever so slightly. For now, they will do whatever they can to pick up a win in Week 10, before turning their attention towards Sanders and figuring out what his injury status truly is.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Former P<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-baker-mayfield-message-bryce-young-after-benching">anthers quarterback Baker Mayfield shared some words of encouragemen</a>t with the second-year player. Most importantly, Panthers running back Miles Sanders spoke to the media on Wednesday with <a href="https://x.com/alexzietlow05/status/1836494988441719218" rel="noopener">some encouraging words</a> he had for his quarterback. </p><p>“It’s not over for Bryce,” Sanders said, via Alex Zietlo of The Charlotte Observer.</p><p>Young has had a less-than-impressive start to his NFL career. In his rookie season, he threw for <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/Y/YounBr01.htm" rel="noopener">2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions</a>. He also had a 59.8 completion percentage. While Young’s most reliable weapons were Adam Thielen, Chuba Hubbard and Sanders, the former Alabama quarterback had no protection. He was sacked 62 times throughout the year.</p><p>Fast forward to the 2024 season and it didn’t look promising for Young. Through two games, he threw for 245 yards, three interceptions, and was sacked six times. As a result, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-real-reason-bryce-young-benching-per-nfl-insider">Panthers head coach Dave Canales pulled the plug</a> and is letting backup quarterback Andy Dalton take the reins of the starting job. It’s a final blow for Young, who had an opportunity to shine under the first-year head coach.</p><h2><b>How can Panthers’ Bryce Young use what Miles Sanders said as motivation?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Miles-Sanders-believes-in-Bryce-Young.jpg"><figcaption>© Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Losing the starting job as a No.1 overall pick is as low as it can get for a starting quarterback. Young was the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner and led the Alabama Crimson Tide to a National Championship. Previously, he won the high school state championship as the quarterback of the prestigious Mater Dei High School.</p><p>Even though the success hasn’t translated to the pros, Young is only in his second season. Without many weapons and a solid offensive line, life is difficult for the Panthers quarterback. Although they gave him some weapons like rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette, it doesn’t help Young’s progression.</p><p>The good news for Young is that he’s not the first former No. 1 overall quarterback to struggle in his first couple of seasons. Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning held the record for most interceptions by a rookie in their first season with 28. Young was nowhere near close to that metric like Manning was.</p><p>Regardless of their playstyles, they both have a similar background. High school state champions, Heisman trophy winners, and first overall picks. Can Young turn into Manning? No one knows but it’s important to give a quarterback time to develop, which he hasn’t had. </p><p>The Panthers take on the Las Vegas Raiders in a Week 3 showdown, where Young will be on the sidelines, watching Dalton run the offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Will Dave Canales be able to unlock Bryce Young just like he did to Baker Mayfield? Is the squad going to be good enough to contend in the revamped NFC South? Those two questions and many more come to mind but there seems to be a concern heading into the weekend and it all revolves around Miles Sanders.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-tough-miles-sanders-injury-update-dolphins-game">The Panthers saw Miles Sanders</a> go down<a href="https://x.com/SteveReedAP/status/1831418971700281653" rel="noopener"> with a finger injury</a> during their preparations for the Saints matchup, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press. The running back hit his hand on one of their defender’s helmets and he was in immediate pain. He was quickly rushed and sidelined so that the injury could get wrapped up. It was advised that he get it checked by a medical professional but Sanders claimed that he should be fine.</p><p>Coach Dave Canales shares the same sentiment as the Panthers running back. He even went a step further by claiming that Sanders should be ready come their Week 1 clash with the Saints. However, it can’t be helped that the elite rusher had some negative feelings towards the incident.</p><p>“Sucks this happened before Week 1,” he noted.</p><h2><b>How good has Miles Sanders been for the Panthers?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Miles-Sanders-in-a-Panthers-Uniform.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Along with Bryce Young, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/carolina-panthers-bold-predictions-for-2024-nfl-season">Panthers faithful are anticipating</a> a big jump from their running back. Sanders experienced a big dip in his production since he departed from the Philadelphia Eagles system. To put it into perspective, he was a Pro Bowl selection in 2022 and had the worst year of his career in 2023. His 259 rushing attempts for 1,269 rushing yards devolved into 432 rushing yards throughout 129 rushing attempts.</p><p>The Panthers could have utilized him better. Instead, he was only able to start five games out of 16 appearances. Understandably, they wanted Bryce Young to develop an elite passing game and some chemistry with his receivers. A consequence of this will be Sanders getting chances to run the ball.</p><p>Hopefully, the Panthers recognize that they have a Pro Bowl selection in their hands. This might lead to a more balanced point of attack in the coming season. Despite the injury to Sanders, the game against the Saints will be a good litmus test as to how they are able to utilize him optimally. Will there be any significant changes to the Panthers’ point of attack?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In addition to Sanders, the team is also going to be without safeties Vonn Bell and Xavier Woods and guard Chandler Zavala, per Fox Sports’ Greg Auman. Defensive stars Brian Burns and Derrick Brown are each questionable heading into Sunday’s matchup in Miami. In other words…Yikes!</p><p>Panthers head coach Frank Reich must make <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-panthers-trade-plan-help-bryce-young-revealed" rel="noopener">protecting rookie quarterback Bryce Young</a> the top priority. The loss of the team’s starting RB and prized free agent addition is going to leave him extremely vulnerable to the Dolphins’ defense. Chuba Hubbard, who has over 200 yards from scrimmage this season, will <a href="https://twitter.com/CameronWolfe/status/1712874060432982222" rel="noopener">receive most of the carries</a> in Sanders’ absence, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.</p><p>With injuries piling up, fans better brace themselves for a very long and potentially ugly afternoon of football.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have now endured four straight losses to their season after the matchup against the Justin Jefferson-led Minnesota Vikings. Fans started booing the squad after suffering seeing the 13 to 21 scoreline. Understandably, members of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-frank-reich-happy-bryce-young-progression-0-4" rel="noopener">the Bryce Young-led team</a> did not like the behavior.<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-miles-sanders-gets-big-update-on-week-4-status-vs-vikings" rel="noopener"> Miles Sanders even called</a> out the booing in <a href="https://twitter.com/KeepBlitzin/status/1708636244408729659" rel="noopener">his latest statement</a>, via Carolina Blitz on X.</p><p>“It’s not cool,” were the only words that Mile Sanders said after the Panthers lost to the Vikings.</p><p>Sanders recorded 19 rushing yards on 13 carries. He only rushed for an average of 1.5 per play which was not a good look for the team. Bryce Young also targeted him quite a lot in his 25 completions. He notched three receptions which gave him 13 receiving yards with a 4.3 average throughout the four quarters of the game.</p><p>The offense was just not converting well for the Panthers in their Week 4 game. They only progressed 3.4 yards on average for each play. Their five out of 14 first-down efficiency was also a huge hindrance in trying to get a win for the season. Young was also sacked five times which definitely knocked the wind out of him.</p><p>The Panthers had the ball in 38 minutes of the matchup while the Justin Jefferson-led Vikings only had it for a little over 21 minutes. They were getting the looks and even ran 68 plays which eclipses Minnesota’s 44. Everything was in their favor. It is unfortunate that they could not convert all of these into a win.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Young, making his second regular-season start in the NFL, went 22-for-33 for just 153 passing yards and a touchdown. He avoided throwing an interception this time around but lost a fumble. He now has three turnovers through two games in the 2023 NFL season.

It doesn’t look like his injury will be resolved anytime soon, as he is set to miss the Panthers next game against the New York Giants and possibly <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/miles-sanders-out-this-week-may-not-play-in-preseason" rel="noopener">the rest of the preseason</a>, reports ProFootballTalk’s Josh Alper.</p><p>“[Miles] Sanders did not play last week because of a groin injury and head coach Frank Reich said on Wednesday that Sanders will also miss this week’s preseason game against the [New York] Giants. Reich said that Sanders may also sit out the third game and that seems like a pretty good bet given the importance of having the back ready for the regular season.”</p><p>It sounds like the Panthers are going to be extra precautionary with Miles Sanders given the fact that they signed him as a hot-ticket free agent this summer to be their starting running back. In Bryce Young’s rookie season as the Panthers starting quarterback, Carolina would be prudent to do everything they can to sustain the health of his primary playmakers like Sanders.</p><p>This means that guys like Chuba Hubbard, Raheem Blackshear, and Spencer Brown will be dominating the carries out of the Panthers backfield for the rest of the preseason. Stay tuned into the rest of training camp and preseason in Carolina to see if anything shakes up in the running back room behind Sanders, as even if he doesn’t suit up in the preseason, he will presumably be the starter come Week 1.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was a key addition for a team with a rookie quarterback in Bryce Young. With the departure of DJ Moore, Sanders will undoubtedly be leaned on this season, as he has had successful seasons in the past with the Philadelphia Eagles.</p><p>It makes sense for the Panthers to hold Sanders out of their matchup against the Jets on Saturday. The two teams have had joint practice this week, so they have gone up against each other a bit, although Thursday’s practice got rained out. Sanders is an experienced player at a position where playing in the preseason is not vitally important as well. It is also the first preseason game, when starters do not play very much anyway.</p><p>Hopefully Sanders’ hamstring tweak does not keep him out long, and he can get some snaps with his new team in the second and third preseason games.</p><p>It will be interesting to see how new head coach Frank Reich schemes Sanders into the offense, and how much he is leaned on with rookie quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-panthers-joint-training-camp-practice-cancelled" rel="noopener">Bryce Young</a> expected to be the starter this season. The expectation is not necessarily for the Panthers to win this year, but for them to show promise for the future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
