Chris Brooks

No. 30 · 4th season

Chris Brooks is hurt — and whatever happened, it didn't happen at work

The Green Bay Packers have placed running back Chris Brooks on the Non-Football Injury list, which means the team is sidelined waiting on something that happened away from the building.

Brooks has been part of the Packers' backfield mix, but this card doesn't have enough to tell you who he was before this moment — just what it is now: a player down, and a question mark where his availability used to be.

The NFI list is for injuries that happen outside of football activities — a reminder that the season doesn't pause the rest of a person's life. Brooks stays on the roster but can't participate until he's cleared.

For a player working to carve out a role, time away at the start of the year is the one thing that's hard to make up. The window doesn't wait.
