Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is still recovering from a knee injury and will not be designated to return to practice this week. Head coach Dave Canales indicated that Brooks is in the final stages of his recovery from an ACL tear, but with the current performance of Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders, the team is not rushing his return.

• Brooks is not expected to return to practice this week as he continues his recovery from an ACL tear.
• The earliest possible return date for Brooks is Week 5.
• Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders are performing well, reducing the urgency for Brooks' return.
