Carolina Panthers' rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is set to be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list this Wednesday. Coach Dave Canales has indicated that while Brooks has been a full participant in practice, his availability for the upcoming game against the Giants remains uncertain. The Panthers are taking a cautious approach with Brooks, who is recovering from a torn ACL sustained last November. If Brooks does not play, Chuba Hubbard will lead the backfield, with the team potentially using their Week 11 bye to further prepare Brooks for his debut.
