Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks suffered a non-contact injury in the first quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.
The rookie running back exited the game and entered the blue medical tent on the Panthers sideline with an apparent knee injury.
Brooks was the first running back selected in the 2024 draft, and the team hoped he could add explosiveness to their underwhelming offense, which ranks 30th in the league in scoring.

Jonathon Brooks injury update
Brooks exited the game late in the first quarter, with 2:27 on the clock.
The Panthers listed Brooks as doubtful to return with a knee injury soon after he exited the game.
Brooks received a handoff on first-and-10 at the Eagles‘ 23-yard line, and he fell to the ground before contact. Trainers helped him off the field, and he immediately entered the blue medical tent. Shortly after, Brooks was carted to the locker room.
This was Brooks’s third game in the NFL. He spent the first part of the season recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in his final year with Texas, which was also his right knee.
