DeCarlos Brooks - Getting first-team reps Brooks was observed playing "heavy first-team reps" during Wedneday's practice, Hod Rabino of Rivals.com reports. Impact Brooks is currently listed as part of the second team, so his involvement running with the starters bodes well for his chances of gaining a bigger role in this offense. The 5-foot-11 running back missed the majority of the 2021 and 2023 seasons, limited to just five appearances in each campaign. Although he missed time, he was efficient with his opportunities, tallying 48 carries for 259 yards (5.4 yards-per-carry) and three touchdowns during the last season. Cameron Skattebo and Alton McCaskill remain the projected starters in that backfield, but Brooks appears to be in place for a workload increase.
