In a disheartening turn of events, Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks suffered a non-contact knee injury during the matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season. Brooks, who had previously undergone surgery on the same knee, was ruled out after the injury, raising concerns for the team’s depth at the running back position. The incident occurred in the second quarter when Brooks was making a routine cut after receiving a handoff. The Panthers have yet to specify the severity of the injury, but initial examinations suggest a significant concern, according to sources familiar with the situation. Coach Frank Reich commented on the injury stating, “It’s tough to see a guy like Jonathon go down. He’s worked so hard to come back, and the whole team is rallying behind him.” Brooks has been a critical component of the Panthers’ offense, averaging 4.6 yards per carry this season, a notable improvement from previous years. His performance against the Eagles had shown promise, making the injury even more distressing for the franchise and its fans. Further updates on Brooks’ condition are eagerly awaited as they prepare for their upcoming games.
