Eli Sanders Injury: Officially out for the year

Sanders (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Sanders was carted off the field on Saturday night against Michigan, and the Trojans' worst fears have been realized: the tailback is indeed done for the year. USC needs to drastically reshuffle its backfield now, as starter Waymond Jordan, who also suffered a serious injury against the Wolverines, is set to miss at least four weeks. The good news for the Trojans? Backup tailback and walk-on King Miller made quite the impression in Week 7, amassing 158 rushing yards and a touchdown.
