Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Pro debut pushed back again
Jonathon Brooks (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Carolina has been taking an extra cautious route with the later stages of Brooks' recovery from the ACL tear that he sustained in his right knee last Nov. 12. His practice regimen during Week 7 prep was LP-DNP-LP, followed by three consecutive capped sessions last week and a trio of full practices this week. Even so, Brooks' potential pro debut will be delayed to next Sunday, Nov. 10 against the Giants. In the meantime, the Panthers will continue to roll with Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders out of the backfield.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Questionable, but unlikely for Week 9
The Carolina Panthers list Jonathon Brooks (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but head coach Dave Canales said that the running back is unlikely to be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list prior to the Week 9 contest, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.Brooks concluded his third week of practice with the Panthers on Friday after he had his 21-day evaluation window opened back on Oct. 16. He turned in a trio of full practices from Wednesday through Friday and seemingly came out of those workouts without any setbacks to his surgically repaired right knee, but the Panthers are leaning toward giving the rookie running back more recovery time before clearing him for his NFL debut. Per Newton, Canales believes that Brooks will be ready to play Week 10 against the Giants in Munich, but Carolina will first need to add the 21-year-old to its 53-man roster to make that a reality. If activated next week, Brooks is likely to be eased into action in a complementary role behind Chuba Hubbard, who has excelled as Carolina's lead back this season.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Another full practice Thursday
Jonathon Brooks (knee) practiced fully Thursday.Brooks has been slowly but surely increasing his practice reps the past few weeks, logging non-consecutive limited sessions two weeks ago, three straight capped sessions last week and now two straight full practices this week. The Carolina Panthers have until next Wednesday to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list, but considering his activity level so far this week, he may be on the brink of his professional debut. For his part, Brooks told Steve Reed of the Associated Press that he's getting more confident in his surgically repaired right knee with each practice, but the rookie was non-committal when asked if he'll play this Sunday against the Saints. His listing on Friday's injury report could be telling for his chances to make his debut this weekend.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Turns in full practice
Jonathon 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 Carolina 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.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Not activated for Week 8
Jonathon Brooks (knee) was downgraded to out Saturday and will not be activated ahead of the Week 8 contest against the Broncos.Brooks has practiced in limited fashion over the majority of the past two weeks, but the Carolina Panthers are being ultra cautious with the rookie second-round pick. Chuba Hubbard will once again get the majority of the work out of the backfield again, but the offense may struggle with Bryce Young back under center due to the injury to Andy Dalton (thumb).

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Listed as doubtful for Week 8
Jonathon Brooks (knee) officially is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.Brooks, who remains on the reserve/non-football injury list, has been limited in five of six sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened, with his lone absence having come last Thursday. Still, the rookie second-round pick likely will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut, leaving Chuba Hubbard to handle backfield duties versus Denver, with Miles Sanders working in the No. 2 role. Brooks' next chance to mix in will come Week 9 versus the Saints, if he's indeed eventually ruled out to play this weekend.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Remains limited in practice
Jonathon Brooks (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Carolina 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
Jonathon 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 Carolina 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: Doesn't practice Thursday
Jonathon Brooks (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Carolina 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.
