Jonathon Brooks (core) is expected to be sidelined for around 6-8 weeks.
Fantasy Impact
The Panthers recently placed Brooks on injured reserve due to a core injury that he suffered last week. HC Dave Canales told reporters that he is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks, which puts him in line for a return sometime in November. Chuba Hubbard is now expected to be Carolina's workhorse running back for the foreseeable future.
Jonathon Brooks (core) was officially placed on IR on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks had core muscle surgery on Wednesday and will be out for at least four weeks on IR. The 23-year-old's timetable is actually projected to be around six weeks. Chuba Hubbard will continue to shoulder the load ouf of the backfield for the Panthers.
Jonathon Brooks (groin) is expected to undergo surgery on his core to repair an injury he sustained on Sunday. His expected time to recover is six weeks and is expected to land on IR.
Fantasy Impact
It’s a tough blow for Brooks, who had just gotten back to the playing field after roughly two years away from it. When Brooks returns, he’ll still have time to make some noise before the season ends, but there’s no telling how much work he will get. Chuba Hubbard will carry the load in Carolina with Brooks out, so be expecting at least RB2 numbers from him thanks to volume.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said RB Jonathon Brooks is undergoing tests on his groin injury.
Fantasy Impact
The team is still gathering information on the severity of the injury. There should be an update on Brooks this week.
Jonathon Brooks (groin) left the Panthers' 34-3 blowout win over the Falcons with a groin injury. Before leaving, he ran five times for 16 yards and caught his only target for a loss of five.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks looked like he was firmly the Panthers' RB2 behind Chuba Hubbard before his injury, with Hubbard taking the majority of the rushing and red-zone work. Now, with this groin injury, Brooks could miss a week or two, depending on the severity.
