Snap counts stay favorable Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.

Impact Brooks did not tally a carry Sunday and was the third Packers running back to enter the contest, but for the third time in as many he finished with more snaps than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for only three offensive plays in Week 11. One of the two remains the backup behind Josh Jacobs with the return of MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/appendix) again delayed, but it's tough to say to pinpoint exactly which is the No. 2 back.

Continues making impact Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both the snaps and touches categories, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Packers are on bye in Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.

Gets involved in win Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There has not been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

Gets work in easy win Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact The Packers gave Brooks some work while holding a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he responded with a couple nice runs. His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.

Makes Packers debut Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Impact Brooks saw his first work since joining the Packers in early September, but he did not take a carry until Green Bay's final drive when the outcome was all but decided. Brooks will operate as the third running back in Green Bay until MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is ready to return, but he will presumably be a distant third option given the way fellow ball carriers Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson have performed to date.

Inks to active roster The Packers signed Brooks to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Brooks bumps up to the 53-man roster following the placement of rookie MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve. He figures to work as Green Bay's third-string running back behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson during Sunday's road matchup against the Colts.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Green Bay The Packers signed Brooks to their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Brooks has seemingly recovered from the concussion that landed him on Miami's injured reserve before his subsequent release Monday, and he will now head to Green Bay. With MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) both dealing with injuries, Brooks could end up being elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 1 game versus the Eagles on Friday.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets cut loose Brooks (concussion) reached an injury settlement with the Dolphins on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brooks will now have the opportunity to sign with another team once he can clear the league's concussion protocols, instead of spending the 2024 campaign on injured reserve. The BYU product appeared in nine regular-season games for Miami last season, gaining 106 yards on 19 carries.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to IR Brooks (concussion) reverted to injured reserve with the Dolphins on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Brooks was waived with an injury designation Tuesday after suffering a concussion at practice Aug. 19. The running back will now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Dolphins down the road.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived/injured by Miami The Dolphins waived/injured Brooks (concussion) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brooks entered the concussion protocol eight days ago. If he clears waivers, he'll likely be cut with an injury settlement, allowing Brooks to find a new home once healthy. As a rookie last season, Brooks rushed 19 times for 106 yards but wasn't targeted in the passing game.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with concussion Brooks entered concussion protocol after Monday's practice session, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact The second-year running back out of BYU was likely on the outside looking in at Miami's 53-man roster, and this concussion further diminishes his chances. Once Brooks returns to the field, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the team's RB room, most likely on the Dolphins' practice squad.

Will remain on IR Brooks (ankle) will not be activated off of injured reserve before Monday's game against the Titans, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Impact Brooks was able to log full practices this week, but he'll remain sidelined for Week 14. The BYU product is still in the middle of his 21-day practice window with the team since being designated to return from IR on Nov. 29. His next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15 against the Jets.

Questionable against Tennessee Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brooks was designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 29 after he sprained his right ankle in Week 6 against the Chargers. He was limited in practice leading up to Week 13 but was able to fully participate in sessions this week and has a chance to return to action Monday. Brooks has 15 carries for 94 yards in six games this season.

Will not return Week 13 Brooks (ankle) will not return from injured reserve against the Commanders, as the Dolphins have downgraded him to out, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Brooks was designated to return from IR earlier in the week, which opened a 21-day window for him to be activated. With the Dolphins opting to err on the side of caution, his next opportunity to be activated will come in Week 14's tilt against the Titans. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since Week 6 due to an ankle injury.

Could play Week 13 Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The rookie running back out of BYU was able to log a week of limited practice sessions, and he's got a chance to appear in his first game since Week 6 this Sunday. The Dolphins have yet to activate Brooks to their active roster though, which must be done in order for the 23-year-old to play in Week 13.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to IR on Friday Brooks (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Brooks sprained his ankle Week 6 against Carolina, and he will be sidelined until at least Week 12 against the Jets as a result of the injury (four games, plus Miami's Week 10 bye). Miami didn't announce a corresponding roster move, but it's possible that the roster spot opened up by Brooks' placement on IR will go to fellow running back Jeff Wilson (ribs/finger), who is in the second week of his 21-day window to be activated from IR.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Brooks (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brooks sustained a sprained ankle during Sunday's win versus Carolina, so it's no big surprise that he was unable to practice Wednesday. He'd likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up in Week 7.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Week-to-week with ankle sprain Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Brooks is week-to-week with an ankle injury he sustained in the Week 6 win over the Panthers, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Active as the Dolphins' RB3 against Carolina with De'Von Achane (knee) and Jeff Wilson (IR-ribs) out, Brooks played 11 snaps and rushed six times for 28 yards behind Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed. With Brooks likely to be sidelined, it's possible Wilson is cleared to make his season debut Sunday night against the Eagles.
