Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season.

Expected, but just want to rub it in here.

Shame

We just drafted a 2026 guy in 2024.

Fine with this. 

Want him healthy.

Almost as if to not only trade up, not only take a devalued position in the 2nd round, not only take an injured player but trade up in the 2nd round to pick a RB that was already injured lmao

No rush. We should be fine with China and the newly drafted Etienne. Hopefully he can pull, a TD and ultimately overcome this.

Yep. Thats why it never made sense. He was most likely out for most of 2025 and he was an injury risk and the 2025 RB class was loaded and the 2024 RB class was not. All signs pointed to an obvious don’t buy high on a 3 year (2 now) rookie deal when you can buy low with no injury risk on a 4 year rookie deal the next draft.

He’s going to have played no meaningful football for 2 straight years. Good times.

Shocking news. I'm flabbergasted.

I'm okay with this. I hope the young guy can heal up and take the field again at full strength. In the meantime, some other folks are going to get their shot.

It's all good.

I swear Morgan didn't have 1st(#1 overall) or a 2nd rounder in this rebuild.......Then his first 2nd rounder that he gave up two 5ths for is now out for basically 2 years.....

Football is not forgiving....

Don't forget Rico is our RB2 for the year.  He is our rental until Brooks can play (IF Brooks can play again).
