Kene Nwangwu Won't Play in Week 5

Sunday, October 5, 11:30 AM

New York Jets running back Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. This hardly comes as a surprise after Nwangwu missed all three practices earlier this week. The 27-year-old is headed for his fourth consecutive absence, leaving Isaiah Davis in line to handle kick return duties once again.

Jonathon Brooks Placed On PUP List, Out For 2025

Thursday, May 8, 1:14 PM

The Carolina Panthers placed running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, meaning he will not play at all in the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brooks tore his right ACL in Week 14 of his rookie season in 2024, his second ACL tear in as many years. The 21-year-old didn't make his NFL debut until Week 12 last year and played in just three games before unfortunately suffering another ACL tear. In his three games with Carolina, the second-rounder (46th overall) out of Texas had nine carries for 22 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards. It's been a tough last couple of years for Brooks, who probably will never be the same runner he was before tearing his right ACL twice. The Panthers will move forward with Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne as their RBs in 2025.
