The Panthers have placed running back Jonathon Brooks on injured reserve.
Dynasty Analysis
Brooks will miss the entire 2025-26 season as a result. Dealing with his second major injury, it's fair to wonder just what Brooks may actually be able to contribute moving forward. Unfortunately, most dynasty managers who have him used a first round draft pick on him last year, making his roster spot one they can't really give up on quite yet. However, this has a real "Marcus Lattimore" vibe to it and his career really is in question at the moment. He's a hold in dynasty leagues at the moment and hopefully this year off can help him get his career started.

Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks had just one carry before suffering a non-contact knee injury in the Panthers loss to the Eagles.
Dynasty Analysis
Oh boy. Brooks was carted to the locker room after going down and this has the looks of another potentially serious knee injury for the former Texas Longhorn who was just coming back from last year's torn ACL. We'll see what the next few days brings us in terms of updates, but this would be catastrophic for his dynasty value as the Panthers have already committed a lot of money to Chuba Hubbard and may not be willing to ever turn the reigns over fully to Brooks, regardless of his health.
Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks had 18 rushing yards in a loss to Tampa Bay.
Dynasty Analysis
Brooks had six carries on the day and Chuba Hubbard had 12. Neither running back was very impressive, but at least Brooks had a few more touches this week. He looks like a player we're going to have to simply wait until next season to get a really good look at. At this point, his dynasty value is starting to slip a bit.
