Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints due to a knee issue. Despite being a full participant in practice, head coach Dave Canales indicated that Brooks is unlikely to play, suggesting the team prefers to give him another week to prepare. This absence allows Chuba Hubbard to solidify his position as an RB2 for fantasy football in Week 9. Brooks is expected to make his NFL debut against the New York Giants the following week, but the Panthers will have a bye after that.
