Is Jonathon Brooks Playing Today? (Injury Update, Betting Impact for Giants vs. Panthers)
Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered at the University of Texas last season.
According to NFL Network, Brooks will not play on Sunday and instead will make his debut after the bye week.
No Jonathon Brooks for the #Panthers, per @Sara_Walsh on @NFLGameDay Kickoff. He’ll make his debut after their bye week.

Brooks, who was activated this week by Carolina to the 53-man roster (if he hadn’t been he’d be out for the season), has yet to make his NFL debut.
On Saturday, The Athletic's Joe Person reported that there was a chance that Carolina would hold out the rookie for another week.
Panthers didn’t have to do anything with Jonathon Brooks today since he’s already on the 53.

If they choose to hold him out another week - a distinct possibility - he would be inactive tomorrow.
The Panthers have been rolling in their running game with Chuba Hubbard leading the way, and the former fourth-round pick has performed so well that the Panthers decided to give him a contract extension earlier this week.
That was a sign that Carolina was willing to hold Brooks out until he is fully healthy, but the second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft could also end up being a nice one-two punch with Hubbard in the backfield once he does return.

Oddsmakers never released rushing props for Brooks in Week 10, a sign that they were unsure if he would even play in Week 10.
However, Brooks was set at +260 to score a touchdown if he had suited up. For comparison, Hubbard is +100 to find the end zone, something he’s done in five of his last seven games.
