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.

Bills' T.J. Sanders: Inks rookie deal with Buffalo
Rotowire
Sanders signed his rookie contract with the Bills on Friday.
That gets all the Bills' rookies signed before training camp starts up for the team that has won five straight AFC East titles. As for Sanders, he's got major athleticism coming out of South Carolina, but the Bills run deep at defensive line and already have starters Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones to cover the middle. Therefore, Sanders is probably slotted as more of a key rotational player for his rookie campaign.
