Brooks has a full practice Wed

Canales has remained very coach-speak-y about his debut, but sounds like it could/should be happening and if he's practicing in full, looks like he should be ahead of the window closing next Wed.

On Wednesday, rookie running back Jonathon Brooks was a full participant at practice, which is paving the way for him to potentially make his NFL debut on Sunday against New Orleans.  

"We've got to look at him for the full week," Canales said of Brooks during his Wednesday presser, via ESPN. "Again, Jonathon first. Thinking about him, making sure that he's confident and ready to go, so we're going to stack up a few more days here before we make that decision."

still a LONG time since he has played football.  None at NFL speed.  I still wouldn't rush him into a NFL pounding.  I'd probably prefer him see a couple full weeks of practice first. 

New guys, even Luke, come in completely blown away by the speed of the NFL. Expectations should be tempered, but my fantasy team is hurting for a stud RB. The Chuba train may have come to a halt.

This is the right outlook. He's going to be rusty and out of football shape. It will require a few weeks minimum for him to get back up to speed.

    • Nina King continues to run circles around the rest of college basketball. She's been ahead of the curve on everything, and is the biggest reason for Duke's success post-K IMO. I think Scheyer is great at many things, but Duke went into the NIL era 100% ready whereas everyone else was playing catchup. 
    • Happy they won convincingly instead of letting them hang around. Montreal is cooked, and rather than play hockey, they've decided to take some really cheap shots at guys. I get a player may feel a need to set the tone, and I understand how that works. But to 2-hand cross check someone intentionally in the face, to have a guy down on the ice and put his head into the ice with a stick, to just start punching anyone who gets within arm's reach- that's not setting the tone. That is nothing short of playing dirty.  That said, the Canes.... oh boy. They could have run this score to 6-0 with half a power play. It's embarrassing how bad the PP is. If the Canes go to the Cup finals against a team who scores at least 1 goal per game on the PP, they'll lose the close games because of the lack of results on the PP. 
    • Because he knows they are winning the cup. And I fully support his decision.
