Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Remains limited in practice
Brooks (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Brooks sandwiched a pair of capped practices around a scheduled day off last Thursday, so his ability to put together back-to-back limited sessions to kick off this week is a good sign for the rookie second-round pick as he gets back into football shape. The Panthers may make a ruling on his status for a Week 8 matchup in Denver on Friday's injury report, but in order for him to be available for game action, the team will need to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Limited in practice Wednesday
Brooks (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Brooks turned in two limited practices last week before sitting out this past Sunday's blowout loss to the Commanders. If the rookie second-round can upgrade to full participation in practice Thursday and/or Friday, he'll have a good chance to return from the non-football injury list to make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Broncos. The Panthers could, however, opt to continue taking a cautious approach with Brooks and hold him out for another game, as his 21-day window to be added to the 53-man roster won't close until the first week of November.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Won't play this week
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Brooks was never likely to play this week, having just returned to practice Wednesday after rehabbing from the ACL tear he suffered last November at Texas. He was a limited participant Wednesday and Friday, sandwiched around a rest day Thursday. The next chance to play will be Week 8 in Denver on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Doesn't practice Thursday
Brooks (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Carolina opened Brooks' 21-day practice window Wednesday, and he eventually went down as a limited participant in his first official on-field work of the season. He's nearing the end of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee last November, but it's perhaps not a surprise that the Panthers aren't pushing their luck with their second-round investment. The rookie running back thus doesn't seem to be a candidate for his NFL debut Sunday at Washington, something that may be confirmed as soon as the Panthers post their final Week 7 injury report Friday.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Listed as limited in first practice
Brooks (knee), who remains on the reserve/non-football injury list after having had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, was listed as a limited participant on Carolina's first Week 7 injury report.
Brooks, who is working his way back from an ACL tear sustained during his final collegiate season at Texas, practiced in full pads without a brace on his right knee, per David Newton of ESPN.com. Head coach Dave Canales said the Panthers will take things a "week at a time" in terms of ramping up Brooks' activity, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press. With that in mind, Brooks doesn't look as though he'll be rushed back into action for Sunday's game against Washington. Whenever the rookie second-round pick is cleared to make his NFL debut, he'll likely be eased into the Carolina backfield mix rather than immediately usurping Chuba Hubbard as the No. 1 option.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Practice window opens
The Panthers announced Wednesday that Brooks (knee) has had his 21-day window to return to practice opened. Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Brooks was on track to return to practice, and Carolina made the move official two days later as the team kicked off Week 7 prep. The rookie second-round pick began the 2024 season on the reserve/non-football injury list while recovering from an ACL tear in his right knee, an injury he suffered during his final collegiate season at Texas. The Panthers will now have a three-week timeframe to evaluate Brooks in practice before he would need to be added to the 53-man roster, and given that he missed all of OTAs, training camp and the preseason while recovering from the injury, he could need the full window to get ramped back up. Once he's activated from the NFI list, Brooks will work to push for a role alongside Chuba Hubbard atop the Panthers' backfield, though his first task will be to usurp backup Miles Sanders.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Return window set to open
Coach Dave Canales said Monday that the Panthers plan to open the 21-day window for Brooks (knee) to return to practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Brooks has yet to make his NFL debut as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered during his final season at Texas, but that injury didn't preclude the Panthers from drafting him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Once the team officially designates Brooks to return from the reserve/non-football injury list, the Panthers will have three weeks from that point to put him on the active roster. Chuba Hubbard has thrived as the team's lead back early in the 2024 campaign, racking up 485 rushing yards through six games.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: May practice next week
Brooks (knee) said Friday that he may return to practice next week, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Brooks also acknowledged that there's not much reason to hurry him back even though he's eager to play, as the Carolina backfield has been in good hands with Chuba Hubbard, whose success perhaps limits some of the prior optimism about what Brooks might do once he plays. The rookie is talented enough to force a timeshare, or at least to push backup Miles Sanders out of the picture, and there's always some chance an injury to Hubbard creates a better opportunity. Brooks is 11 months removed from suffering an ACL tear -- an injury that didn't prevent him from being the first RB selected (46th overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Practice window won't open yet
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that the team won't designate Brooks (knee) to return to practice this week, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Brooks started the regular season on the reserve/non-football injury list, which makes Week 5 his earliest possible return date, but Carolina hasn't cleared the rookie second-round pick to resume practicing. Per Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340, Canales said Brooks is in the "final stages" of his recovery from a right ACL tear sustained in his final collegiate season at Texas that prevented him from taking part in the Panthers' offseason program. Once he's designated to return, a 21-day practice window will open for Brooks, and with Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders both currently running well, the Panthers have little need to hurry the rookie along.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Nearing return from ACL tear
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Brooks (knee) is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL suffered last November and is approaching his NFL debut, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.
Brooks is on the non-football injury list, so the earliest he could make his NFL debut is Week 5 against the Bears. A second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Brooks tore his ACL during his final collegiate season at Texas and didn't fully participate in the Panthers' offseason program, so he may need some additional practice time to get up to speed. Once healthy enough to play, the rookie will join a Panthers backfield led by Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders.
