Tragic news out of Carolina: It is being reported that the Panthers’ rookie running back, Jonathon Brooks, suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. The Panthers selected Brooks in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft out of the University of Texas.
This is the second time in just over a year that Brooks tore the ACL in his right knee, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.

Brooks had played a very limited role in his first NFL season. He had only appeared in three games and his season ended with only nine carries for 22 rushing yards.
