Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks will miss the entire 2025 NFL season after being placed on the physically unable to perform list due to a second ACL tear in his right knee, sustained during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles on December 8, 2024. After a limited rookie season where he recorded only nine carries and three receptions, Brooks struggled with injuries that have raised concerns about his development. With established starter Chuba Hubbard and new additions to the running back roster, Brooks will focus on recovery, aiming to return in 2026.
