Jaguars Place Brenton Strange on Injured Reserve on Tuesday

Tuesday, October 7, 5:05 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed tight end Brenton Strange (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Strange will now miss at least the next four games due to a quad injury that he picked up in Monday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. The 24-year-old is believed to have avoided a season-ending injury, and the team thinks he'll be able to return in around a month. He caught his only target on Monday night for a 22-yard gain before departing. Over his first five games in 2025, Strange has 20 catches on 24 targets for 204 yards and no touchdowns in his third year in the league. Surprisingly, he leads the Jags with 20 receptions. With Strange sidelined at least four games, Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long will both have bigger roles at TE. The earliest Strange will be eligible to return will be in Week 11 on Nov. 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Returns to Practice on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 8, 2:45 PM

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) is healthy and set to resume practicing on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders has started all three games he's played this season, catching 11 of 14 targets while proving to be a reliable option in the passing game. His return provides a noticeable upgrade over Tommy Tremble and should help stretch the field for big-play receiver Tetairoa McMillan. With both Sanders and Xavier Legette back in action, the Panthers' offense appears poised to continue its recent surge after winning two of their last three games. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep an eye on Sanders as a potential streaming option if his involvement continues to grow.
