Sanders is 32 and attempting to return in nine months from a career-threatening injury that normally requires an 11-month recovery period.
When he returns, he’ll face competition for targets from younger, healthier players at every skill position, namely wide receivers Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton, as well as rookie first-round tight end Noah Fant.
Those targets will come from either Joe Flacco, or a rookie who lasted 41 picks in the draft before being selected by an executive who has literally never been able to find starting-caliber QB play if a future Hall of Famer doesn’t just so happen to be an available free agent. — Chris Raybon
