Brooks (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Brooks remains on the reserve/non-football injury list, but it's encouraging to see him practicing in full after having been listed as a limited participant in the majority of his sessions of the last two weeks. Head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that he's still undecided about whether Brooks will play Sunday versus the Saints, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press. Thus far, the Panthers have opted for extra caution with Brooks, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last November during his final collegiate season at Texas. With Chuba Hubbard thriving as Carolina's lead back, the Panthers have the luxury of easing along Brooks, who could be headed for more of a complementary role once he's activated.
