Brooks has a full practice Wed

Would be cool if Canales uses Brooks and Chubba like how Detroit runs their offense through Gibbs and Montgomery.

This year is a bust. No need for him to get out there soon or even this season really. He should have limited reps if he does play.

get ready for two carries late in the fourth that leads to a TD when we're down 54. Panthers Twitter BRYCE IS HIM PANTHERS LOSE 57-10

Im not an expert by any means on the type of running backs gibbs/mont are vs chuba/brooks, but i don’t think either has the speed gibbs has. Mont is also bigger in size (weight) i believe. Meaning i don’t think we have the same style backs as their two headed monster. I could be all wrong here in saying that.

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. 

This. It's not like we've got anything to gain by rushing him onto the field.

Agreed. More-so in a sense of really running/pounding the ball with two quality backs to wear down opposing defenses and setting up the pass.

Seems like they are doing that, which is why he is still not playing. I do want to see him.

Gotta make sure he isn't glass ahead of next season and really even the trade deadline.  For him, gotta have him get hit and hopefully see that his repaired knee is right so he can play freely without fear. 

Packages. Get him in a couple.

I mean, we’re talking about a running back. Not a linebacker, QB, corner…

Sure his conditioning will take time to catch up and his body will have to get used to being walloped over and over, but from a skill standpoint I imagine running backs are the easiest to plug and play. 
 

don’t be surprised if and when he comes in that he has plenty of juice and speed that’ll be really promising

I have had him sitting in my Fantasy Football IR slot all season. Doubt it was worth it, but I am a homer. 

Me too. Luckily, haven’t needed it for anyone else yet. Figured what the heck since Hubbard was looking decent. I’ll likely never start him as RB is my strength unless he looks like Hubbard on steroids.

He'll have to be activated to the 53 so it will start with small drips.  No doubt they should be careful, but that's why he's nearing ready now and not at the start of season (the timeline that Brooks' team and himself thought was best case scenario)

I'd give him some weeks in real NFL practice.  Getting used to things/speed/etc and back in the feel of football.  

I'd probably prefer to trot him out after the bye week (pending the rest of the RB is healthy) .  That would still be 7 games and near half a season of play.  In such a pointless season, I hate to not take your time to setup him for success.

I was thinking post bye week too but maybe they dip his toe in the water first to get a little taste.

There is zero reason to sit him if he is ready to go.  Putting him on a shelf and attempting to protect does him no favors.
