Patrick Mahomes takes part in practice Thursday

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes a full participant in back-to-back practices

Carolina Panthers fans are now witnessing a new look from Jonathon Brooks. On Thursday, the third-year running back arrived at practice with an updated appearance. Beat reporter Sheena Quick captured the scene, showing Brooks without his dreadlocks, as he greeted his teammates on the field.

Brooks' dreadlocks have journeyed with him from his time at the University of Texas to the NFL, where he was selected as a second-round pick by the Panthers in 2024. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since then, as he is currently on injured reserve recovering from groin surgery. In the two games he played this season, Brooks rushed for a combined 30 yards on nine carries and had two receptions for 43 yards.

With Week 6 approaching, the Panthers have not shared a return date for Brooks. For now, fans will simply have to wait and see the debut of the dread-less Brooks. For more Panthers updates, follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X.
