Panthers rookie RB Jonathon Brooks carted off with non-contact knee injury weeks after return from torn ACL

Three weeks into his return from an ACL tear, Jonathon Brooks is injured again.

The rookie Carolina Panthers running back slipped to the turf and limped toward the sideline with a non-contact knee injury on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was eventually taken to the locker room on a cart. The Panthers ruled him as doubtful to return with a knee injury.

The injury is a tough blow for the promising rookie whom the Panthers drafted out of Texas in the second round of April's draft.

The injury took place in the first quarter with the game in a scoreless tie.
