Jonathon Brooks' second ACL tear is a significant blow to the Carolina Panthers, who are now facing a depleted running back situation. With Raheem Blackshear hospitalized and Miles Sanders on injured reserve, the team is left with only Chuba Hubbard and Mike Boone.

To address their needs, the Panthers may consider free agent running backs like Boston Scott, Lynn Bowden, and Eno Benjamin, all of whom could provide depth as the season progresses.
