Brooks thriving in camp after two ACL tears; could be Panthers' RB tandem with Hubbard.
Brooks, a second-round pick in 2024 coming off an ACL tear, suffered another ACL tear in Week 14 of 2024 and missed all of 2025. This was positioned as the Panthers' last chance to evaluate his future. Brooks has instead 'busted the door down' in camp, impressing coaches and fans with his speed out of the backfield and pass-catching ability despite fans' concerns about his cuts and direction changes. Rather than being a true backup to Chuba Hubbard, the two now appear poised to operate as a tandem in 2026.
