Jonathon Brooks does not need to be feared from an injury standpoint, with good news continuing to emerge about his status.PositiveRoleJul 9, 2026
Brooks is a target in the Panthers backfield; Carolina has maintained a sneakily good running game over the past few seasons, and Brooks is specifically called out as a player to target alongside Chuba Hubbard.PositiveRoleJul 7, 2026
After sitting out all of 2025 following his second major knee injury in two years, all signs point to Brooks being a major part of Carolina's backfield plans. Rico Dowdle departed to Pittsburgh and the Panthers brought in no one else to compete for touches with Brooks and Chuba Hubbard. Trevor Etienne, last year's draft pick, remains on the roster but produced little as a rookie and has lower draft capital than Brooks, so Brooks is in line to get the first opportunity alongside Hubbard. Coachspeak has been positive this offseason and roster moves suggest a big role. Brooks has risen from a player dynasty managers wanted to trade away to one with real buzz, though health concerns remain.
