Fantasy Impact

Brooks is coming off back-to-back season-ending injuries. He is expected to compete for a role in the Panthers backfield behind Chuba Hubbard following the departure of Rico Dowdle.

Jonathon Brooks said he "has no set date" on his full return.

Brooks added that he is "hopeful" to be good to go for minicamp. He is coming off back-to-back season-ending injuries as he enters the third year of his rookie contract. It remains to be seen what his role could be in the Panthers backfield.

Jonathon Brooks told reporters he is hopeful to be healthy by minicamp.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks is coming off another lost season in Carolina after tearing his ACL. Rico Dowdle hinted to reporters he could be leaving in free agency, so it's possible Brooks can carve out a role alongside Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers backfield.

Jonathon Brooks has been placed on the PUP list by the Panthers. Because he was placed on the PUP at this time of year, he will miss the entire 2025 season.

Fantasy Impact

It’s a big blow to already hard-hit fantasy managers who drafted Brooks with high hopes entering 2024. But of course, don’t forget the human element, it’s a big blow to Brooks as well and his NFL hopes. For fantasy, Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle will hold down the backfield with Brooks out, and he will look to get back on the field and revive his career in 2026.
