The Carolina Panthers will be going into the 2024 season looking to turn around the direction of their franchise. Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, will need to show the league that he is ready for a massive year two leap.
He will also need weapons around him to step up and make his life easier. However, one of those weapons will be getting off to a slow start.
The Carolina Panthers Will Be Without 21-Year-Old Weapon For Nearly A Month
Jonathon Brooks (ACL) has yet to participate in a training camp practice as he eases back into the game. In the aftermath of Saturday’s practice, head coach Dave Canales was asked if he is progressing and if Brooks could play in the preseason:
“He will not. He will not play this preseason,” Canales stated. ‘He’s doing great. I saw him running out a little bit before practice. They have a progression on him. He feels stronger and stronger every day.
He’s really focused and into what we’re doing mentally with our walkthroughs just watching and in classroom stuff he’s been really attentive. Physically, this is a guy that can really make an impact for us, so again, want to be really smart about when we bring him back in.
“The on-field progression, the type of cuts…linear running versus the change or direction versus going over bags and then progressively getting into team sessions. Like, that whole thing’s got to be right.
Particularly when we change from straight line to the change of direction in the aggressive manner. So that will be the limiting factor or the determining factor of how soon we can get him back.”
When Panthers fans saw that their new running back will be out for a while, they reacted accordingly on social media:
Please don’t rush it in any way. Want to see this dude crush it.

Hmm. I thought the Brooks hype was way too aggressive but I admittedly thought he would be active in Week 1. Although, it does make sense for Carolina to be incredibly cautious since they aren’t playing for this year + Hubbard can get them maybe a 4th round comp pick if he rakes https://t.co/RrFn0GHoGx

The description of “Would be great” isn’t optimistic for wk3/4 let alone sooner 😂
