Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks is set to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a core muscle injury, according to reports from NFL-related and major sports outlets. The surgery follows Brooks being sidelined with the injury.
Multiple sources also report that Brooks is placed on Injured Reserve as part of his recovery. One report specifies a timeline for return, stating Brooks is expected to miss approximately six weeks. The outlets are aligned on the nature of the injury (a core muscle issue), the scheduled day for surgery (Wednesday), and the immediate roster move (IR), with differences mainly in how the recovery window is described.
