A real nightmare for Jonathon Brooks. Barely back from a cruciate ligament injury which kept him away from the field for a year, the rookie has just experienced a relapse. Released during the match against the Eagles, the runner was hit again in the right knee according to ESPN. The same injury just 13 months apart.
Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2024 draft, Jonathon Brooks began his season on the injured list. He was only able to set foot on the NFL fields in week 12. And after only 3 appearances, 9 carries and 22 small yards, the running back therefore returned to the infirmary for a long period.
In a position where explosiveness and support are decisive, we can wonder about the player's ability to regain all of his resources after a second rupture of the cruciate ligaments. And in what condition will this double-operated knee be? But as the misfortune of one person makes the happiness of others, his absence will benefit Chubba Hubbard recently extended by the franchise. The player surpassed the 1,000 yard mark and established himself as one of the only sure values in Carolina's attack. He will therefore once again be the custodian of the ground game in 2025 while awaiting a new return from Brooks.
