Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Huddle Up: Brooks has been limited to only three games since entering the league in 2024 but seems to be on track to play this season. He will be behind Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart but could see a decent amount of touches during games. He can probably be a No. 4 running back in most fantasy leagues but is unlikely to be a starting option most weeks.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) "looks fast" during practice, according to head coach Dave Canales. "He looks like the guy that I remember, and I'm really excited for that," Canales said.
Huddle Up: Injuries have derailed Brooks' career up to this point, but he should at least be the primary backup to Chuba Hubbard to begin the year. There is also a chance that Brooks carves out a bigger role as the season goes on and ends up being a steal for fantasy owners. At worst, he should be a handcuff for Hubbard.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have "no limitations" returning to practice.
Huddle Up: Brooks will split the backfield work with RB Chuba Hubbard, so neither will likely be a top-end fantasy asset in 2026. However, Brooks has a chance to be worth a flex play, or Hubbard, depending on the percentage in which carries are split.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks needs to stay healthy, but could potentially become the lead back in Carolina over Chuba Hubbard, in the opinion of Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com on Monday, June 8.
Huddle Up: Brooks has been injured for most of his NFL career thus far, missing all of last season recuperating from a torn ACL. If he can stay healthy, Brooks has a chance to be a real thorn in Chuba Hubbard's side for the lead back role in Carolina. Brooks is going to have a LOT of buzz this summer as a potential steal in the later rounds.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks was reportedly held out of team drills and scrimmage on Tuesday, as the team works to get him back to 100%, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
Huddle Up: After missing the entirety of the 2025 season, Injuries have derailed Brooks' career to date. He has managed just nine carries since being drafted in 2024. The Panthers let Rico Dowdle hit free agency, so behind starter Chuba Hubbard are Brooks and last season's Day 3 pick, Trevor Etienne. Brooks' recovery this summer could lead him to rise up fantasy draft boards with continued good news, so keep his name at the forefront this summer.

Huddle Up: Injuries have derailed Brooks' career to date, and he has managed just nine carries since being drafted in 2024. At this point, there is no way of knowing if he will ever be able to regain the form that made him a second-round pick.
