From the episode

I think to start the season, we're going to be looking at somewhat of a 50-50 split. And it's up to Jonathan Brooks and how well he plays to decide where it goes from there.

STACKED’s take

Brooks will likely split backfield work with Hubbard, pending health status.

Jonathan Brooks is expected to share the Panthers' backfield with Chuba Hubbard in a 50-50 split to start 2026. While the team clearly values his pass-catching and explosive potential, his health following two ACL surgeries remains the primary variable in his ability to seize a larger role.
