The Patriots signed Sanders to the practice squad Tuesday.
Sanders was in Miami during training camp, but he was waived with an injury settlement Sept. 4 after being placed on injured reserve due to a lower body injury in late August. He appears to have fully recovered from the injury, and he'll provide the Patriots some depth in case any of the wide receivers on the active roster are unable to play. Sanders appeared in three regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2023 and finished with two catches (on three targets) for 17 yards.

Braylon Sanders: Waived/injured by Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins waived Sanders (lower body) with an injury designation Tuesday.
Since signing with Miami as an undrafted free agent in May of 2022, Sanders has spent most of his time on the Dolphins' practice squad, though he did appear in three regular-season games in 2022. Sanders accumulated two catches on 10 targets for 17 yards across the Dolphins' first two preseason games, but a lower-body injury kept him out of the preseason finale against the Buccaneers on Friday. Assuming he clears waivers, Sanders would revert to Miami's injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

Dolphins' Braylon Sanders: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Sanders is considered week-to-week after sustaining a lower-body injury during Monday's practice session, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Sanders was expected to have an outside chance at making the Dolphins' 53-man roster, and this injury likely decreases his odds even further. Once Sanders is fully past this lower-body issue, he's expected to compete for a spot on Miami's practice squad for the second year in a row.

Dolphins' Braylon Sanders: Injury considered minor
Rotowire
Sanders suffered what head coach Mike McDaniel is calling a "lower-body" injury with no structural damage, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Sanders' injury was reported to be knee-related Tuesday when he needed to be carted off the practice field during 11-on-11 drills. Ultimately, this is good news for Sanders, who McDaniels expects to be able to return to practice next week. The 24-year-old is likely on the outside looking in regarding the 53-man roster, although Oyefusi does believe the Ole Miss product is having a good camp.

Rotowire
Sanders reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Sanders was elevated to the active roster for Week 8 and made his NFL debut, playing 14 of Miami's 68 offensive snaps. The undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss caught both of his targets for 17 yards, though he did lose a fumble trying to get extra yards following one of his receptions. The Dolphins' wideout corps is relatively healthy heading into Sunday's matchup against the Bears, so it appears unlikely Sanders sees a second straight elevation.
