Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced that rookie running back Jonathon Brooks will be activated from injury but did not confirm if he would play against the New York Giants this weekend. The team had to activate Brooks this week to avoid placing him on season-ending IR. Despite being a full participant in practice last week, the Panthers are taking a cautious approach with his return, suggesting he may not be a viable fantasy option for Week 10.

• Jonathon Brooks has been activated but may not play this weekend.
• The Panthers are being cautious with Brooks' return to ensure his long-term health.
