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.

Expect the Panthers to take their time with Brooks given that it is highly unlikely that the team makes a playoff push this season. Here is a look at the timetable in which Brooks is likely to return to the Panthers and make his NFL debut.

  • Sunday, October 20 Week 7: Panthers at Commanders
  • Sunday, October 27 Week 8: Panthers at Broncos
  • Sunday, November 3 Week 9: Saints at Panthers
  • Sunday, November 10 Week 10: Giants at Panthers

How long will Brooks be out?

The Panthers have their bye week during Week 11, which is mid-November. Brooks tore his ACL on November 11 of last year.

Athletes typically recover from ACL injuries in eight to nine months.
