Panthers RB Brooks Undergoes Season-Altering Surgery
23 Sep
Summary
- Jonathon Brooks faces surgery for a core muscle injury.
- He is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks.
- This is the latest in a series of injuries for the running back.
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks is scheduled for surgery to repair a core muscle injury, which will require him to miss a minimum of six weeks and be placed on injured reserve. This procedure comes after head coach Dave Canales confirmed Brooks re-aggravated a groin injury during the team's recent win against the Atlanta Falcons.
The injury had previously caused Brooks to miss the latter part of training camp, though he participated in the first two games of the current season. This latest medical issue adds to a challenging start for Brooks, who has faced multiple ACL tears earlier in his career.
In his limited appearances this season, Brooks accumulated 30 yards on nine rushing attempts and two receptions for a total of 43 receiving yards. His absence will be a significant concern for the Panthers' offensive strategy.
