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 linemen.

Rotowire
Buffalo designated Sanders to return from IR on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders hurt his knee in early October and was consequently placed on IR. He's already missed the required four games, but the Bills don't necessarily have to activate him right away. Sanders now has 21 days during which he can practice before he'd either need to be activated or deemed out for the remainder of the campaign.

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.
