The Carolina Panthers are facing a sudden requirement for additional depth at running back after Jonathan Brooks suffered an injury that is expected to keep him out for an extended duration. With Brooks heading to Injured Reserve, the team is currently exploring veteran options, including former Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler.
No signing had been made as of Wednesday morning, but Carolina was reportedly moving quickly to analyze its options. The Panthers worked out Ekeler on Wednesday as they assessed their backfield after Brooks' injury.
