Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sanchez sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in the knee while diving for a first down in New York’s 19-13 win over Buffalo on Thursday night. Ryan says Sanchez spent the majority of the weekend at the team’s facility rehabilitating the injury. Sanchez will initially wear a brace to stabilize the knee, and could play with it Sunday against the Buccaneers if medically cleared. He already wears a brace on his left knee from a previous injury.
