Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Out for at least four games
Brooks will start the regular season on the non-football injury list and miss at least the first four games, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Brooks tore his ACL while playing football but is eligible for the NFI list because the injury occurred during a college game last November before the start of his NFL career. The Panthers made him the first running back taken in the 2024 NFL Draft anyway, 46th overall, undeterred by a lack of athletic testing or the possibility he'd miss games at the start of his pro career. Brooks has been on the NFI list all summer, leaving Chuba Hubbard temporarily unchallenged as Carolina's No. 1 running back. Miles Sanders could also get some carries early in the season, but Hubbard is a safe bet to make starts and lead the backfield in touches until Brooks is ready to make his NFL debut.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: No decision on PUP yet
Coach Dave Canales suggested Monday morning that the Panthers haven't decided if Brooks (knee) will start the regular season on the reseve/PUP list, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
The uncertainty suggests Brooks is unlikely to play Week 1 but could be ready before Week 5, as the reserve/PUP list would rule him out for the first four games. Canales said in early August that he expected the rookie to debut around Week 3 or 4, and it now sounds like the Panthers may take the decision down to the last day with the roster cutdown to 53 players looming Tuesday afternoon. Either way, Chuba Hubbard figures to be the starting RB for Week 1 at New Orleans.
