Brooks Pushing for Panthers Return

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. Panthers running back Jonathan Brooks is pushing hard to give back on the field after back-to-back knee injuries. Drafted in the second round of the 2024 class out of Texas, he tore his right ACL in college, made a midseason debut as a rookie, then, tore it again in his third NFL game. That sideline him for the entire last season. The team had big plans for him in this year's offseason program, and he's right on track with that. Brooks shared the latest at a Tuesday press conference, saying his surgeon has fully cleared him. He's feeling close to 100% now, wrapping up football movements and sticking to the rehab plan. Brooks admits they're still work to do, but he's loving the progress. In the backfield, Chuba Hubbard and Trevor Etienne returned from last year, and they added AJ Dillon as a free agent Sinee. The big question is how Brooks slots into that group. Keep an eye on the Panthers' offseason workouts.
