Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks to miss entirety of 2025 season

Despite sustaining an ACL tear in November of 2023, Brooks was taken by Carolina in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft. He'd go on to miss the first 10 games of his rookie year while recovering from the injury.
Brooks debuted in the team's Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he totaled seven yards on two rushing attempts.
Two weeks later, Brooks re-tore the same ACL in Philadelphia—cutting off his comeback at just three games.
Carolina has since signed veteran Rico Dowdle to provide depth at the running back position behind starter Chuba Hubbard. They also selected University of Georgia's Trevor Etienne in the fourth round of the 2025 draft.

Jose Tena's 2-run single helps Nationals rally for 3-2 win over Phillies
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jose Tena hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning, Paul DeJong homered for the third time in five games and the Washington Nationals rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 on Thursday night. DeJong walked leading off the seventh against Jesus Luzardo (11-6). Riley Adams doubled, Daylen Lile walked and, with one out, Tena singled past the drawn-in infield against Orion Kerkering to put Washington ahead 3-2. Shinnosuke Ogasawara (1-1) struck out Kyle Schwarber with a runner on to end the seventh and got his first major league win. Rookie Cole Henry worked the ninth and fanned Trea Turner with a runner on third to secure his first career save. Turner had three infield hits for the National League East-leading Phillies, who have lost three straight while scoring three runs. Philadelphia left eight men on base. Luzardo allowed three runs on four hits in six-plus innings. The Phillies didn't arrive in Washington until early Thursday afternoon after maintenance issues necessitated a change in planes and an overnight stay in Cincinnati after Wednesday night's game. DeJong homered on the first pitch he saw from Luzardo in the fourth to tie it at 1-all. Turner singled with two outs in the fifth and scored on Schwarber's double off the wall in center. Washington starter Brad Lord allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings. Since returning to the rotation on July 22, Lord has a 2.77 ERA and Washington is 4-1 in his starts. Key moment Tena hit a hard grounder the opposite way on a 3-1 fastball and got it past the diving Turner at shortstop. Key stat DeJong has hit safely in five straight, going 9 for 21 (.429) with three homers and seven RBIs. Up next Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (10-5, 2.68 ERA) opposes Nationals LHP MacKenzie Gore (5-12, 4.09) on Friday. ___ AP MLB:

Hot putter carries MacIntyre to three-shot lead at BMW Championship
Robert MacIntyre used a red-hot putter to birdie the last six holes and surge to a three-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood in the US PGA Tour BMW Championship in Maryland on Thursday. McIntyre delivered a masterclass on the rain-soaked greens at Caves Valley after an afternoon thunderstorm halted play for more than two hours. "The last six holes is probably as good as I've ever putted in a stretch of holes, just so consistent," MacIntyre said after posting an eight-under par 62. "When you get the eye on, it's free flowing and it's nice." His late burst carried him past world number one Scottie Scheffler -- who was in the clubhouse on four-under 66 and ended the day alone in third. Fleetwood overtook him with a 33-foot birdie at 18 to cap a 65. Two-under after his second bogey of the day on 12, MacIntyre poured in a 66-foot birdie putt at the par-three 13th to launch his scoring closing run. He followed with a 40-footer at 14 and a 17-foot birdie at 15. He fired out of the rough to 12 feet at 16 and curled in that birdie putt, then drained a 22-footer at the tough par-three 17th. MacIntyre capped his round with a five-foot birdie at 18. The 29-year-old Scot's longest birdie streak on the PGA Tour -- beating his previous of four straight -- helped him match his career-low round on tour. MacIntyre, who finished runner-up to J.J. Spaun at the US Open in June, said he'd learned during the final-round rain delay at Oakmont and kept himself warmed up during Thursday's delay. "It came at a tough time, but it gave the course a little more to us," he said. "The greens were really slick early on when they were dry. When I went back out, they felt a little bit slower, a little bit smoother." Fleetwood had five birdies in an impressive bogey-free round, bouncing back after a late fade on Sunday saw him come up short in his latest bid for a first US tour title at the St. Jude Championship. - Scheffler in the hunt - Scheffler, whose four victories this season include major triumphs at the PGA Championship and the British Open, got off to a strong start with three birdies in the first four holes. After back-to-back bogeys at nine and 10 he birdied three of his last four, drilling a 16-foot putt at 15 and a five-footer at 16 before draining a 26-foot birdie at the last. Scheffler said the course was "significantly softer" after the storm delay. "Golf course definitely got a bit easier but did a good job of taking advantage of the holes I had left," Scheffler said. Fifty players are in the field this week and Scheffler, the leader in the playoff points race, is already assured of making it into the 30-player field for next week's Tour Championship in Atlanta. Rory McIlroy, world number two and second in the playoff standings who opted to skip the first playoff event, carded an "awful" even par 70 that featured three bogeys and three birdies. "Drove the ball terribly," the Northern Ireland star said. It was a tough day for Justin Rose, who edged Spaun in a playoff for the St. Jude title in Memphis on Sunday. Two-under through 10, he found the water at both 11 and 12 on the way to a bogey and double-bogey and carded a one-over 71. bb/acb
