Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial verdict not expected until January 2027

The bankruptcy trial of former NFL defensive back Shilo Sanders is ongoing, with a verdict on whether he can avoid an $11.89 million civil judgment anticipated in January 2027. The timeline was pushed back after Sanders's lawyers requested an extension for submitting post-trial briefs, now due by December 21. The case centers on injuries Sanders allegedly caused during a 2015 incident, and whether these injuries were 'willful or malicious.' If determined they were not, the debt could be discharged under bankruptcy laws. The trial took place from August 31 to September 4.
