When will Jonathon Brooks return and be back on the field for the Panthers?
Brooks was placed on injured reserve to start the season and has sat out the required four games. So when will Jonathon Brooks return and be back on the field for the Panthers? Very soon, as the Panthers opened the 21 day practice window for the rookie on Wednesday, October 16. The Panthers now have until November 6 to have him activated to the 53 man roster. If he is not activated by then, he will remain on IR for the rest of the season.
