Brooks has a full practice Wed

Canales has remained very coach-speak-y about his debut, but sounds like it could/should be happening and if he's practicing in full, looks like he should be ahead of the window closing next Wed.

On Wednesday, rookie running back Jonathon Brooks was a full participant at practice, which is paving the way for him to potentially make his NFL debut on Sunday against New Orleans.  

"We've got to look at him for the full week," Canales said of Brooks during his Wednesday presser, via ESPN. "Again, Jonathon first. Thinking about him, making sure that he's confident and ready to go, so we're going to stack up a few more days here before we make that decision."

still a LONG time since he has played football.  None at NFL speed.  I still wouldn't rush him into a NFL pounding.  I'd probably prefer him see a couple full weeks of practice first. 

New guys, even Luke, come in completely blown away by the speed of the NFL. Expectations should be tempered, but my fantasy team is hurting for a stud RB. The Chuba train may have come to a halt.

This is the right outlook. He's going to be rusty and out of football shape. It will require a few weeks minimum for him to get back up to speed.

    • Here is the dilemma:  1. Do you trade for a player entering his fourth year if you agree to offer him a new contract, something you can do after 3 years of playing on a rookie contract?  If so, to avoid sending a first rounder for a "one and done" You will have to pay Wilson approximately $100m on a 4 year deal and lose your 2025 first round draft pick.  Wilson has been over 1000 yards each season. 2.  Chris Godwin is 29, but before his 2024 (injured some) season, had several 1000 yard seasons.  His salary will not exceed $25m per, according to the internet, which is always accurate.  With Godwin, you get a player less likely to evolve into a #1 than Wilson during the contract, and his play will likely decline slightly each year over the contract.  I imagine a 3-year deal at about $70m would be the range.  However, to get Godwin, you have to compete with other teams, sell the Panthers, and possibly overpay.  You do not, however, lose a draft pick.  3.  Would we give away our first rounder and pay top dollar for a WR if we thought  Legette might develop into the #1?  I know a lot of you feel that he sucks, but as an athlete, his is elite.  WR skills need to be developed. We all knew he was raw when we drafted him.  We saw Legette at his floor--but we do not know his ceiling. He has a long way to go, but if they can develop him like they did Bryce, Cade, Zavala etc. are we "giving up" on XL?  Most NFL players claim to grow the most between years 1 and 2.  Is the answer to sign a lower-level free agent WR--like KJ Osborn--who averaged about 650 yards per season in Minnesota with AT and Jefferson--He is 27, and would improve the WR room--at a cost of about $5m per season.  This seems like the "Panther way" and I worry that we get stuck in mediocrity by our GM decisions--but you build through the draft.  In other words, I have no idea.
