Panthers Hopeful as Jonathon Brooks Set to Face Bears Despite Missing Practice
Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks missed his third consecutive practice due to “general soreness,” but coach Dave Canales remains optimistic about his availability for the season opener against the Chicago Bears. Brooks has struggled with injuries, missing 31 of 34 games since joining the team. Canales praised Brooks’ speed and playmaking ability, emphasizing how he can complement starter Chuba Hubbard. Panthers guard Damien Lewis noted Brooks’ explosiveness and quick decision-making, making it easier for offensive linemen. The team ranked 19th in rushing last season, and they hope Brooks can enhance their performance against a Bears defense that allowed 134.5 yards per game.
