Brooks suffered a torn ACL in his collegiate profession, prematurely ending his junior yr.
The previous Texas working again was one of the crucial touted gamers at his place when he entered the 2024 draft, however he barely slipped as a result of his important knee harm.
Brooks didn’t make his rookie debut till Week 12 final season, and he solely appeared in three video games. He tore his ACL in Week 14, his second ACL harm in as a few years, placing his NFL profession in legit jeopardy.
In his temporary stint, Brooks totaled 9 carries for 22 yards whereas securing all three of his targets for 23 yards.
Carolina signed working again Chuba Hubbard to a four-year, $33.25 million contract a number of weeks earlier than Brooks’ debut.
It was a puzzling resolution on the time, because the Panthers had simply signed Miles Sanders to a multiyear deal the earlier offseason and had simply invested a second-round choose into Brooks, as talked about earlier.
With Brooks’ future as an NFL working again wanting bleak and Sanders now on the Dallas Cowboys, it’s secure to say that extending Hubbard was the suitable resolution.
