From the article

Despite having a career year in 2025, the Panthers let Rico Dowdle walk in free agency this offseason. That move showed their faith in Brooks despite him playing in only three contests during his NFL career because of multiple ACL injuries. Reportedly, the former Texas star has had a positive offseason and has been a standout guy at the start of Carolina's training camp. Don't be surprised if Brooks takes the starting running back job from Chuba Hubbard sooner than later, especially with the veteran dealing with a hamstring injury.
