NFL Player Profile: Mohamed Sanu

Injured on Fri Feb 28, 2020 (Ankle) (Questionable).

Sanu (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from offseason surgery, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. "[Sanu]'s probably faster, quicker, leaner and in better shape now than prior to the surgery," said trainer Hilton Alexander, who is in his third offseason working with Sanu in Atlanta. "I would say he's way ahead of any doctor's knowledge or prediction where he would have been at this point." Analysis available to registered users
