There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.

Want a 7th year?

Sure

Broke rules?

Ahhhh, it’s fine.

There AREN’T any rules.

Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks:

1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab.

2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.

3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns.
I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around.

With his cheap cost in dynasty and BestBall/redraft, he’s worth the gamble in ability to eventually beat out Chuba Hubbard for workload, particularly if Chuba’s struggles weren’t directly tied to the calf injury and carry over into 2026. We know CAR is excited to utilize Brooks in the screen game, and they only brought in AJ Dillon to the RB room alongside Chuba, Brooks and Trevor Etienne.

My recommendation:
Keep investing in Brooks at cost. It does not present like a typical injury situation that you need to avoid at all costs.

Chris Del Conte notes Texas will keep the Frank Denius Fields after the new football facility is completed and there are plans to keep the practice bubble for a period of time.
