Brooks (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Brooks sprained his ankle Week 6 against Carolina, and he will be sidelined until at least Week 12 against the Jets as a result of the injury (four games, plus Miami's Week 10 bye). Miami didn't announce a corresponding roster move, but it's possible that the roster spot opened up by Brooks' placement on IR will go to fellow running back Jeff Wilson (ribs/finger), who is in the second week of his 21-day window to be activated from IR.
