Remains full practice participant Brooks (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Brooks was a full practice participant during the entirety of preparations prior to the Panthers' last game Sunday, Nov. 10 against the Giants in Munich, Germany, but Carolina ultimately included him among its inactives for Week 10. Following the team's Week 11 bye, he remains uncapped on the practice field, and coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press on Wednesday that he has "high hopes" for Brooks making his pro debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Brooks likely will take a back seat to Chuba Hubard in his initial NFL forays, but the rookie second-round pick should have some sort of regular role, considering the draft capital invested in him.

Tracking toward debut in Week 12 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that he "fully expects" Brooks (knee) to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Brooks has been out all season while recovering from the torn ACL that he suffered last November during his final collegiate campaign at Texas, but he was a full participant in practices in Weeks 9 and 10 before Carolina went on bye for Week 11. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his surgically repaired right knee during Week 12 prep, Brooks should be ready to handle a complementary role behind starter Chuba Hubbard. With Hubbard still expected to see the lion's share of the snaps and touches out of the backfield moving forward after inking a four-year, $33.2 million extension earlier this month, Brooks will likely struggle to earn enough volume to make for an appealing option in fantasy lineups.

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks’ wait to make his NFL debut continues after he was listed as inactive for the team’s game against the New York Giants in GermanyNOVEMBER 10 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not debuting in Germany Brooks (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Panthers brought Brooks back from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday, but the decision to activate him may have had more to do with the running back's 21-day evaluation window coming to a close rather than him being deemed ready for game action. Brooks proceeded to turn in a trio of full practices for the second week in a row and had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but before turning him loose for his NFL debut, the Panthers will give the rookie running back more time to rebuild strength in his knee from the torn ACL he suffered Nov. 12 of last year during his final collegiate season at Texas. After the Germany game, the Panthers are on bye Week 11, so assuming Brooks experiences no setbacks during Week 12 practices, he should suit up Nov. 24 against the Chiefs. Brooks is likely to begin his career in a complementary role in the backfield behind Chuba Hubbard, whom Carolina signed to a four-year extension earlier this week.

Impact Canales said Brooks, OLB DJ Wonnum (quad) and S Jordan Fuller (hamstring) are "making it hard on us" in reference to their Week 10 availability. The other two remain on injury lists, whereas Brooks was activated from injured reserve Wednesday to avoid the end of his 21-day practice window (and reverting to IR for the rest of the season). The rookie was a full practice participant all of last week and this week, which at least suggests he's likely to play after a Week 11 bye, if not this Sunday in Munich. The Panthers will release their inactive list about 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff.

Impact Stretching back to last week, Brooks now has been listed as a full participant on four consecutive injury reports, but the Panthers continue to take a cautious approach with the rookie second-round pick as he gets back to full health from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee last Nov. 12. If Brooks doesn't make his pro debut Sunday, Chuba Hubbard will lead Carolina's backfield, while the team uses their Week 11 bye to get the former ready for its next game Sunday, Nov. 24 versus the Chiefs.

Logs another full practice Brooks (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Brooks was a full practice participant throughout last week and ultimately held out of a 23-22 win over the Saints, with coach Dave Canales suggesting the rookie likely would make his NFL debut this coming Sunday against the Giants in Munich, per David Newton of ESPN.com. Regardless of how that plays out, the Panthers will need to move Brooks from the non-football injury list to the active roster this week unless they want to hold him out for the entire season.

Pro debut pushed back again Brooks (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Carolina has been taking an extra cautious route with the later stages of Brooks' recovery from the ACL tear that he sustained in his right knee last Nov. 12. His practice regimen during Week 7 prep was LP-DNP-LP, followed by three consecutive capped sessions last week and a trio of full practices this week. Even so, Brooks' pro debut will be delayed to next Sunday, Nov. 10 against the Giants. In the meantime, the Panthers will continue to roll with Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders out of the backfield.

Questionable, but unlikely for Week 9 The Panthers list Brooks (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but head coach Dave Canales said that the running back is unlikely to be activated from the re...
Impact Brooks concluded his third week of practice with the Panthers on Friday after he had his 21-day evaluation window opened back on Oct. 16. He turned in a trio of full practices from Wednesday through Friday and seemingly came out of those workouts without any setbacks to his surgically repaired right knee, but the Panthers are leaning toward giving the rookie running back more recovery time before clearing him for his NFL debut. Per Newton, Canales believes that Brooks will be ready to play Week 10 against the Giants in Munich, but Carolina will first need to add the 21-year-old to its 53-man roster to make that a reality. If activated next week, Brooks is likely to be eased into action in a complementary role to Chuba Hubbard, who has excelled as Carolina's lead back this season.

Another full practice Thursday Brooks (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Impact Brooks has been slowly but surely increasing his practice reps the past few weeks, logging non-consecutive limited sessions two weeks ago, three straight capped sessions last week and now back-to-back full practices this week. The Panthers have until next Wednesday to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list, but considering his activity level so far this week, he may be on the brink of his pro debut. Brooks' listing on Friday's injury report could be telling for his chances to play Sunday against the Saints.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Turns in full practice Brooks (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Brooks still remains on the reserve/non-football injury list, but it's encouraging to see him practicing in full after having been listed as 'limited' in the majority of his sessions of the last two weeks. Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday he's still undecided about whether Brooks will play Sunday versus the Saints, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press, a game that will again feature Bryce Young under center. Thus far the Panthers have opted for extra caution regarding Brooks' recovery, but with Diontae Johnson (rib) having been traded to Baltimore, the team has an increased need for playmakers on offense.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Not activated for Week 8 Brooks was downgraded to out and will not be activated ahead of the Week 8 contest against the Broncos.
Impact Brooks has practiced in limited fashion over the majority of the past two weeks, but the Panthers are being ultra cautious with the rookie second-round pick. Chuba Hubbard will once again get the majority of the work out of the backfield against, but the offense may struggle with Bryce Young back under center due to the injury to Andy Dalton (thumb).
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as doubtful for Week 8 Brooks (knee) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Brooks, who remains on the reserve/non-football injury list, has been limited in five of six session since having his 21-day practice window opened, with his lone absence having come last Thursday. Still, the rookie second-round pick will likely have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut, leaving Chuba Hubbard to handle backfield duties versus Denver, with Miles Sanders working in the No. 2 role. Brooks' next chance to mix in will come Week 9 versus the Saints, if he's indeed officially ruled out to play on the road against the Broncos.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Remains limited in practice Brooks (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Brooks sandwiched a pair of capped practices around a scheduled day off last Thursday, so his ability to put together back-to-back limited sessions to kick off this week is a good sign for the rookie second-round pick as he gets back into football shape. The Panthers may make a ruling on his status for a Week 8 matchup in Denver on Friday's injury report, but in order for him to be available for game action, the team will need to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in practice Wednesday Brooks (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Brooks practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Friday last week, sitting out both Thursday's practice and Carolina's blowout loss to Washington in Week 7. The rookie second-round pick's next chance to come off IR and make his NFL debut will come Sunday on the road against Denver, though the Panthers could also opt to continue taking a cautious approach to Brooks' recovery. His 21-day practice window officially opened Oct. 16.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in practice Wednesday Brooks (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Brooks turned in two limited practices last week before sitting out this past Sunday's blowout loss to the Commanders. If the rookie second-round can upgrade to full participation in practice Thursday and/or Friday, he'll have a good chance to return from the non-football injury list to make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Broncos. The Panthers could, however, opt to continue taking a cautious approach with Brooks and hold him out for another game, as his 21-day window to be added to the 53-man roster won't close until the first week of November.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play this week Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Brooks was never likely to play this week, having just returned to practice Wednesday after rehabbing from the ACL tear he suffered last November at Texas. He was a limited participant Wednesday and Friday, sandwiched around a rest day Thursday. The next chance to play will be Week 8 at Denver on Oct. 27.
