Panthers place RB Jonathon Brooks on PUP list, out for 2025

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Carolina Panthers placed running back Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list Thursday because of the torn ACL he sustained late last season.

Brooks’ move to the PUP list means he’s out for the entire 2025 season.

Carolina’s rushing attack last year was led by Chuba Hubbard.

Signed to a four-year, $33.2 million contract extension in November, Hubbard recorded career-high totals in rushing yards (1,195), rushing touchdowns (10) and catches (43) in 15 games (all starts) last season.

Brooks saw his rookie season come to an end after just three games and nine total carries following his right knee injury during the Panthers’ 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec. 8.

On a first-quarter run, Brooks planted his right foot in an attempt to cut to the outside and went down with a non-contact injury. He tried to limp off the field but had to be helped to the sideline.

A second-round draft pick out of Texas, Brooks still was recovering from ACL surgery on the same knee when the 2024 season began. His previous ACL injury occurred in the Longhorns’ victory over TCU in November 2023.

Brooks, 21, made his NFL debut on Nov. 24 against the Kansas City Chiefs and gained 7 yards on two carries. He gained 18 yards on six carries the following week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before he was injured on his lone carry in Philadelphia.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Pass rusher Von Miller will miss at least the first four games of the season with the Buffalo Bills deciding not to remove him from the physically unable to perform list prior to Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, ESPN reported.

Now, Miller will sit out that contest as well as games against the Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins — with an Oct. 8 clash versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in London as his earliest return date.

Miller recorded eight sacks and 21 tackles while forcing one fumble in 11 games (all starts) last season, his first since signing a six-year, $120 million contract.

He has totaled 123.5 sacks, 561 tackles, 27 forced fumbles and nine fumble recoveries in 161 career games (all starts) with the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams and Bills.

Miller was part of Super Bowl-winning teams in both Denver and Los Angeles.

Saints WR Michael Thomas to open season on PUP list

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New Orleans Saints All-Pro Michael Thomas will open the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, ensuring the wide receiver will miss at least the first five games, ESPN reported Tuesday.

The Saints have a bye in Week 6.

Thomas underwent ankle surgery in June, reportedly infuriating Saints management who thought the procedure should have been done earlier in the offseason.

The friction was extended by Thomas, who earlier this month took to social media to accuse the Saints of trying to damage his reputation.

Thomas injured the ankle in Week 1 of the 2020 season and played in just seven games, finishing with 40 catches for 438 yards and no touchdowns.

Thomas, 28, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro. He set the league’s single-season record in 2019 with 149 receptions for a league-best 1,725 yards.

Thomas signed a five-year, $96.3 million contract extension in 2019. He is due to earn $12.6 million in 2021 between base salary and a restructured bonus.
