Jonathon Brooks

No. 25 · 3rd season

Brooks took the field. Two torn ACLs say that means something.

Jonathon Brooks has spent the better part of a year watching from the sideline. A second torn ACL in 2024 was the kind of injury that tests what a player is made of — not just physically, but in the quiet hours when recovery feels infinite and the question becomes whether it's even worth it.

Saturday's preseason game was his first time back on the field since that second injury. It wasn't a full workload or a statement performance. It was simpler and harder: he played. The Carolina Panthers got him into action, and he answered. For a running back fighting his way back from two serious knee injuries, showing up is the biggest step yet.
