Panthers Open Practice Window for Rookie RB Jonathan Brooks

The Carolina Panthers aim to activate Jonathan Brooks, their 2024 second-round draft pick, following his ACL recovery.

Jonathan Brooks, drafted from Texas, is set to begin practicing with the Panthers after recovering from an ACL injury sustained last November.
The Panthers have a 21-day window to evaluate Brooks' readiness before deciding on his activation to the 53-man roster.
Chuba Hubbard has been performing well in Brooks' absence, averaging over 5.8 yards per carry in recent games.
Carolina's defense has struggled significantly, allowing the highest points per game in the NFL this season.
Key injuries continue to impact the Panthers, with several players, including cornerback Dane Jackson, nearing a return.
