T.J. Sanders: Breaking News

Plays 16 snaps against Houston

Sanders recorded one tackles (zero solo) in Buffalo's loss to Houston on Thursday night. It was Sanders' second game back from injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury in Week 4. The second-round rookie played just 16 defensive snaps (27 percent) against the Texans and has produced only six tackles (two solo) across six appearances this season.

Activated from IR

The Bills activated Sanders (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, though he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The rookie second-rounder is poised to return from a five-game absence due to a knee injury, though he may not be officially cleared for Sunday's contest until he goes through pregame warmups. Sanders' potential return would result in a slight decrease in rotational snaps at defensive tackle for Larry Ogunjobi and Jordan Phillips.

Could return Sunday

Sanders (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers. The South Carolina product was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday, and following a week of full practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. However, Sanders must still be activated to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up in Week 11. If active, he'll likely operate as one of Buffalo's top interior defensive lineman.
