Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Role ticks up
Brooks rushed the ball six times for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Buccaneers. He added three receptions on three targets for 23 yards.
Brooks wasn't all that impressive with his rushing opportunity, but he saw his carry total jump from two to six in his second pro game. He was also much more effective as a receiver, highlighted by a shifty 18-yard catch and run late in the first quarter. While Brooks is unlikely to overtake Chuba Hubbard to lead the Carolina backfield, it appears clear that he will continue to carve out a role moving forward.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Just two carries in NFL debut
Brooks rushed twice for seven yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
The 2024 second-round pick from Texas made his NFL debut in Sunday's loss but didn't see much offensive work, playing behind the NFL's fifth-leading rusher, Chuba Hubbard. Brooks' longest rush was four yards in the fourth quarter, and he will likely continue to see limited offensive snaps given Hubbard's current level of production. However, the rookie running back's role could expand as he becomes more familiar with Carolina's offense over the course of the season. Expect Brooks to serve as the Panthers' No. 2 running back in a Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Officially cleared for NFL debut
Brooks (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Brooks had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but his availability for Sunday was never in any peril after head coach Dave Canales said Friday that he running back was ready to make his NFL debut. A 2024 second-round pick out of Texas, Brooks missed the Panthers' first 10 games of the season while completing his recovery from a torn ACL suffered last November. He had been activated from the non-football injury list Nov. 6 and has been a full participant in practices for weeks, so Brooks should be capable of handling the top backup role behind starting running back Chuba Hubbard. Before landing on injured reserve this week, Miles Sanders (ankle) had been serving as Carolina's No. 2 option in the backfield and averaged 5.9 touches per contest, but given the draft capital invested in him, Brooks could match or surpass that level of usage, especially if the Panthers want to lighten Hubbard's workload a bit.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Set for NFL debut
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Friday that Brooks (knee) "absolutely" will play Sunday against the Chiefs, despite being listed as questionable for the contest, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Canales said Brooks wouldn't be on a "pitch count" in the event of an injury to Chuba Hubbard, who is still viewed as "the starting point" of Carolina's backfield, per Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340. Whether Brooks will have a larger role than what's typically been handled by Miles Sanders -- who will be inactive for the first time this season due to an ankle injury -- is less certain. Hubbard's impressive season means the Panthers don't have any incentive to put Brooks in a large role for his first football game since suffering an ACL tear in college at Texas last November.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Remains full practice participant
Brooks (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Brooks was a full practice participant during the entirety of preparations prior to the Panthers' last game Nov. 10 against the Giants in Munich, but Carolina ultimately included him on its inactive list for Week 10. Following the team's Week 11 bye, Brooks remains without restrictions in practice, and head coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press on Wednesday that he has "high hopes" for the running back making his NFL debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Brooks likely will take a back seat to Chuba Hubbard initially, but the rookie second-round pick should have some involvement on offense as a change-of-pace option behind the starter.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Tracking toward debut in Week 12
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that he "fully expects" Brooks (knee) to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Brooks has been out all season while recovering from the torn ACL that he suffered last November during his final collegiate campaign at Texas, but he was a full participant in practices in Weeks 9 and 10 before Carolina went on bye for Week 11. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his surgically repaired right knee during Week 12 prep, Brooks should be ready to handle a complementary role behind starter Chuba Hubbard. With Hubbard still expected to see the lion's share of the snaps and touches out of the backfield moving forward after inking a four-year, $33.2 million extension earlier this month, Brooks will likely struggle to earn enough volume to make for an appealing option in fantasy lineups.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Not debuting in Germany
Brooks (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The Panthers brought Brooks back from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday, but the decision to activate him may have had more to do with the running back's 21-day evaluation window coming to a close rather than him being deemed ready for game action. Brooks proceeded to turn in a trio of full practices for the second week in a row and had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but before turning him loose for his NFL debut, the Panthers will give the rookie running back more time to rebuild strength in his knee from the torn ACL he suffered Nov. 12 of last year during his final collegiate season at Texas. After the Germany game, the Panthers are on bye Week 11, so assuming Brooks experiences no setbacks during Week 12 practices, he should suit up Nov. 24 against the Chiefs. Brooks is likely to begin his career in a complementary role in the backfield behind Chuba Hubbard, whom Carolina signed to a four-year extension earlier this week.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Listed as questionable
Brooks (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, with head coach Dave Canales suggesting Friday that the running back's active status will be a difficult decision, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Canales said Brooks, linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quadricep) and safety Jordan Fuller (hamstring) are "making it hard on us" in reference to their Week 10 availability. The latter two players remain on reserve lists, whereas Brooks was activated from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday to avoid the end of his 21-day practice window, which would have resulted in him missing the rest of the season. The rookie was a full practice participant all of last week and this week, which at least suggests he's likely to play after a Week 11 bye, if not this Sunday in Munich. The Panthers will release their inactive list about 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Will be activated Wednesday
Head coach Dave Canales said Brooks (knee) will be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday, but he isn't certain whether or not the running back will play Sunday against the Giants in Munich, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Dating back to last week, Brooks now has been listed as a full participant on four consecutive injury reports, but the Panthers continue to take a cautious approach with the rookie second-round pick as he gets back to full health from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee last Nov. 12 during his final collegiate season at Texas. If Brooks doesn't make his pro debut Sunday, Chuba Hubbard will continue to lead Carolina's backfield, while the team uses their Week 11 bye to get the former ready for its next game Nov. 24 versus the Chiefs.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Logs another full practice
Brooks (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Brooks was a full practice participant throughout last week but wasn't activated from the reserve/non-football injury list ahead of the Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints. Instead, head coach Dave Canales suggested after last Friday's practice that the rookie likely would make his NFL debut this coming Sunday against the Giants in Munich, per David Newton of ESPN.com. In order for that to come to fruition, the Panthers will need to move Brooks from the NFI list to the active roster this week.
