CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, who had surgery in November to repair an ACL injury suffered while at the University of Texas, will not play during the preseason and his status for the opener is doubtful at best.
Coach Dave Canales did not give an exact timeline for when the player Carolina traded up in the second round to select would be ready, but he indicated "something around'' Week 3 or 4 made sense.
"This is a guy with a long career in front of him, somebody we think really high about, so we want to be really smart with him,'' Canales said following Saturday's practice.
