It didn't look good.

Sanborn suffered an ankle injury and was carted off after getting checked in the team's medical tent. Unfortunately, unless it's a very minor ankle sprain, it seems unlikely that we'll be seeing the rookie linebacker again this season. 

After the Bears traded away Roquan Smith, Sanborn saw a big uptick in his playing time and was impressive, recording 64 total tackles and two sacks over six games. The twenty-two-year-old out of Wisconsin was an undrafted free agent.

In his absence, Matt Adams will likely see increased playing time.
