Sanders, a free agent who played for Dallas in 2025, was reportedly charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and careless driving on June 8 in Churchill Borough.<\/p>\n

Police also discovered marijuana in his car, per the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a private matter that has not even reached the preliminary hearing stage and there will be no further comment,\u201d Sanders\u2019 agent, Phil DiLucente, told KDKA-TV.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint reportedly stated that an officer found Sanders \u201cslumped over\u201d while in the driver\u2019s seat of a Lexus found in the middle of William Penn Highway.<\/p>\n

The officer reportedly claimed they attempted to wake Sanders, but he was \u201cin and out consciousness and \u201cextremely lethargic,\u201d according to CBS Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Sanders, 29, reportedly could not answer questions.<\/p>\n

Police alleged that Sanders \u201cperformed poorly\u201d on field sobriety tests and tested positive for alcohol.<\/p>\n

He was ultimately taken into custody and has a September court date, per the report.<\/p>\n

Sanders is listed as a Pittsburgh native and has spent most of his collegiate and professional career playing in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

The running back starred for Penn State from 2016-18 before being selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Sanders spent four years with the Eagles before signing a four-year, $25 million deal with the Panthers ahead of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He played for Carolina for two years before latching on with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Sanders rushed for 117 yards and one touchdown across four games last season before before suffering a season-ending knee injury.<\/p>\n

He has tallied 4,462 career rushing yards and 24 rushing scores.<\/p>\n

With training camps almost over and Sanders coming off this injury and now this legal matter, it\u2019s possible the season could begin without him being signed.<\/p>\n
