Jonathon Brooks (core) is doubtful for Week 10 against the Saints.

Brooks was previously listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practices, only for head coach Dave Canales to announce on Friday that Brooks was working with the scout team, not the 53-man roster, meaning he was actually limited throughout the week. After logging three limited practices, Brooks appears unlikely to play in Week 10 given the doubtful designation. With his return window opened earlier this week, the Panthers could delay his return by two more weeks before having to either rule him out for the season or activate him from injured reserve. We will see how things go for him next week ahead of Week 11’s game against the Ravens.
