Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks has been ruled out for the upcoming game against Washington due to a knee injury. After returning to practice, he was limited and is still in the recovery phase from an ACL tear suffered last season. Brooks is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 8 against Denver, contingent on his recovery progress. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard has been performing well, which may impact Brooks' initial role once he returns.

• Jonathon Brooks is still recovering from an ACL injury and will not play this week.
• His return could be impacted by Chuba Hubbard's performance and potential trade scenarios.
