Panthers Start Season With Injury Hurdle | Carolina Panthers News

The Panthers kick off their season at home against the Bears, a surprising matchup for two teams that split their division last year. With an 8-9 record and a wild-card spot, they’re hungry to prove doubters wrong — but there’s a cloud over their backfield: running back Jonathon Brooks was seen working with a trainer, hinting at lingering soreness from his brutal injury history. While coach stays vague, it’s likely precautionary given Brooks’ limited preseason touches. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard’s return to practice is a bright spot. Injury reports next week will reveal if Brooks can go or if the Panthers need to lean on others early. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
