Panthers Activate Rookie Jonathon Brooks for Giants Game

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks has been activated from the reserve/NFI list and is set to potentially make his NFL debut this Sunday against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. Brooks, who was the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been recovering from an ACL injury sustained during his time at the University of Texas. While he has participated fully in practice, the team's coach has not confirmed whether he will play in the game, opting for a cautious approach. If Brooks does not take the field, Chuba Hubbard will continue to lead the backfield. The Panthers are also activating defensive tackle Jayden Crumedy for the matchup. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor Brooks's role closely before making decisions about his playability.
