Jonathon Brooks "Headed in Good Direction" After Second ACL Tear

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks, the 46th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, has played just three games. He spent his rookie season rehabbing a torn ACL from college, then re-tore the ACL in his third game, missing the entire 2025 campaign. However, GM Dan Morgan stated Tuesday that Brooks is now "headed in a good direction," offering optimism for his potential return and impact in the 2026 season.
