Minimal production against Eagles Brooks caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles.

Impact Brooks failed to record a single carry for the sixth time this season. The 25-year-old running back played just 16 of the Packers' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Josh Jacobs (41) and ahead of Emanuel Wilson (11). Brooks finished the 2024 regular season with 36 carries for 183 yards and a touchdown, adding 11 receptions for 69 yards on 13 targets. The BYU product is under contract for the 2025 season before becoming a restricted free agent in 2026. Brooks will likely continue to compete with Wilson for backup duties behind Jacobs next season.

Effective in Week 18 Brooks had eight carries for 59 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.

Impact Although the Packers ended the regular season on a down note, Brooks ended it on a high one, setting season highs in both the rushing attempts and yards categories. Brooks averaged a quality 5.1 YPC during the regular season, but it's unlikely he will be much of a factor in the postseason, as starting running back Josh Jacobs will be at full speed and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson took 31 carries to Brooks' 14 over the last three weeks.

Cleared to play Sunday Brooks (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Brooks was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but is good to go for the regular-season finale against Chicago. With Green Bay likely (73.9 percent) ticketed for the No. 7 seed in the NFC, there's a chance Brooks sees an uptick in playing time against the Bears, as Josh Jacobs has already stated he doesn't believe he's going to play his full workload. Green Bay could use more of Emanuel Wilson and Brooks out of the backfield, allowing Jacobs to rest a bit more ahead of next weekend's playoff opener.

Remains limited Thursday Brooks (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brooks has opened the week with consecutive limited practices due to an ankle injury he likely picked up during the Packers' Week 17 loss against the Vikings. He didn't register a carry across seven offensive snaps in that game, but in the five games prior he turned 15 carries into 71 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches on as many targets for 27 yards. Brooks could have a larger role on offense in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears if Josh Jacobs (wrist) is limited or unable to play.

Dealing with ankle injury Brooks was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brooks logged seven offensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps Sunday in a loss to Minnesota, and he appears to have come out of the contest with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old tallied a season-high seven touches Week 16 in a blowout win over New Orleans but didn't get any touches versus the Vikings in Week 17. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that the Packers will play their starters while being "mindful" of injured players in the team's season finale, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com, so if Brooks is able to suit up he could see a bit more work than usual with starting RB Josh Jacobs currently managing a wrist injury.

No touches in Week 17 Brooks failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Brooks was held without a touch for just the fourth time all season. The second-year running back played just eight of the Packers' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Josh Jacobs (40) and Emanuel Wilson (20). Brooks remains far of the fantasy radar as Green Bay's No. 3 running back heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Bears.

Tallies first touchdown Brooks had six carries for 23 yards and a touchdown and one reception for two yards in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints.

Impact Brooks came close to picking up his first score a couple times earlier in the season, and he finally found paydirt in Week 16. Both Brooks and Emanuel Wilson were more involved than usual Monday, but that's because the Packers ran away on the scoreboard and conserved starter Josh Jacobs. In a key matchup for both the Packers and Vikings in Week 17, it seems likely Jacobs will reprise his role as the bell cow back.

One carry in Week 15 Brooks rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Operating as the Packers' No. 2 running back, Brooks played just 16 of Green Bay's 64 offensive snaps Sunday, well behind starter Josh Jacobs (48). The 24-year-old Brooks continues to handle a small workload, but he is the preferred backup over Emanuel Wilson based on the fact that he continues to see more playing time than Wilson. With that said, the Packers have relied heavily on Jacobs as he continues to have success out of the backfield. Brooks should be considered a solid insurance policy going forward, but holds little standalone fantasy value. The Packers will host the Saints in Week 16.

Role remains consistent Brooks had one carry for three yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.

Impact The Packers leaned heavily on starting running back Josh Jacobs again, and both Brooks and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson finished with only one carry apiece. Brooks and Wilson continue seeing a similar number of touches, but Brooks has been spending more time on the field, out-snapping Wilson in six straight contests -- and quite comfortably in each of the last four.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays involved Thursday Brooks took three carries for 28 yards and caught both of his two targets for one yard during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins.

Impact Brooks continued to be more involved in the offense than teammate Emanuel Wilson in Week 13, and he collected five touches for the second straight contest. Even still, Josh Jacobs continues to see the lion's share of the Packers' backfield work both on running and passing downs, so Brooks' path to fantasy relevance in 2024 probably requires Jacobs missing time.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes with five touches Brooks had four carries for 11 yards and one reception for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

Impact Brooks finished second among Packers running backs in snaps for the fourth time in as many chances, but he was the third Green Bay running back to get a touch in Week 12, and he finished with five touches compared to Emanuel Wilson's nine. Both running backs figure to continue working in behind starter Josh Jacobs, who is handling the lion's share of the work in Green Bay's backfield.

Snap counts stay favorable Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.

Impact Brooks did not tally a carry Sunday and was the third Packers running back to enter the contest, but for the third time in as many he finished with more snaps than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for only three offensive plays in Week 11. One of the two remains the backup behind Josh Jacobs with the return of MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/appendix) again delayed, but it's tough to say to pinpoint exactly which is the No. 2 back.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Continues making impact Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both the snaps and touches categories, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Packers are on bye in Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.

Gets involved in win Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There has not been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

Gets work in easy win Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact The Packers gave Brooks some work while holding a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he responded with a couple nice runs. His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.

Makes Packers debut Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Impact Brooks saw his first work since joining the Packers in early September, but he did not take a carry until Green Bay's final drive when the outcome was all but decided. Brooks will operate as the third running back in Green Bay until MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is ready to return, but he will presumably be a distant third option given the way fellow ball carriers Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson have performed to date.

Inks to active roster The Packers signed Brooks to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Brooks bumps up to the 53-man roster following the placement of rookie MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve. He figures to work as Green Bay's third-string running back behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson during Sunday's road matchup against the Colts.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Green Bay The Packers signed Brooks to their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Brooks has seemingly recovered from the concussion that landed him on Miami's injured reserve before his subsequent release Monday, and he will now head to Green Bay. With MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) both dealing with injuries, Brooks could end up being elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 1 game versus the Eagles on Friday.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets cut loose Brooks (concussion) reached an injury settlement with the Dolphins on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brooks will now have the opportunity to sign with another team once he can clear the league's concussion protocols, instead of spending the 2024 campaign on injured reserve. The BYU product appeared in nine regular-season games for Miami last season, gaining 106 yards on 19 carries.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to IR Brooks (concussion) reverted to injured reserve with the Dolphins on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Brooks was waived with an injury designation Tuesday after suffering a concussion at practice Aug. 19. The running back will now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Dolphins down the road.

Waived/injured by Miami The Dolphins waived/injured Brooks (concussion) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brooks entered the concussion protocol eight days ago. If he clears waivers, he'll likely be cut with an injury settlement, allowing Brooks to find a new home once healthy. As a rookie last season, Brooks rushed 19 times for 106 yards but wasn't targeted in the passing game.

Dealing with concussion Brooks entered concussion protocol after Monday's practice session, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact The second-year running back out of BYU was likely on the outside looking in at Miami's 53-man roster, and this concussion further diminishes his chances. Once Brooks returns to the field, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the team's RB room, most likely on the Dolphins' practice squad.

Will remain on IR Brooks (ankle) will not be activated off of injured reserve before Monday's game against the Titans, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Impact Brooks was able to log full practices this week, but he'll remain sidelined for Week 14. The BYU product is still in the middle of his 21-day practice window with the team since being designated to return from IR on Nov. 29. His next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15 against the Jets.
