Sun Nov 17 23:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Panthers Rookie Brooks to Debut Against Super Bowl Champs
**CHARLOTTE, NC** – Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is poised to make his NFL debut following the team’s Week 11 bye, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The 21-year-old, a second-round draft pick, was activated from the Non-Football Injury list earlier this month but did not see action in Week 10.
Brooks’ first professional game will be a challenging one, pitting him against the reigning Super Bowl champions, a team boasting the league’s third-best rushing defense (allowing just 83.2 yards per game). While he’s expected to ease into the offense alongside established backs Chuba Hubbard (a top-five rusher this season) and Miles Sanders, the Panthers are reportedly considering two-back formations to maximize their offensive potential. All three running backs are under contract through 2026.
