Panthers hosting Ekeler visit as potential Brooks replacement; offers receiving and kick return value.

The Panthers are hosting Ekeler, 31, for a visit as a potential veteran running back signing to help replace Brooks. Ekeler played in just two games for Washington last season (19 touches, 81 yards) before suffering a torn Achilles. He has four career seasons with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards and was an All-Pro second-team kick returner in 2025, offering receiving skills and special teams versatility as a complement to Hubbard and Dillon.
