He was limited to four games after knee surgery

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 271 min read

What happened: Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported Sanders has been fully cleared after surgery on his injured knee. He played four games for Dallas last season, recording 147 scrimmage yards and one touchdown.

Why it matters: Las Vegas is assessing its backfield depth behind Ashton Jeanty ahead of the 2026 campaign. Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and Roman Hemby are also competing for roles.

By the numbers: Sanders had 20 carries for 117 yards and eight catches for 30 yards last season. He has 4,462 career rushing yards and 1,274 receiving yards.

What to watch: Watch whether the workout leads to a contract and a place in the Raiders' training-camp rotation.
