The first year-and-a-half of Terrence Brooks’ NFL career has been a frustrating roller coaster.
His opportunities to play have been limited, and whenever he’s had a chance to step into a larger role, he’s been hit with the injury bug. A serious knee injury ended his rookie season after 11 games. Then a thumb issue put him on the shelf this year just as he started to see more defensive snaps.
Brooks is now fully recovered from the thumb injury, but he still spent last week on the sidelines as a gameday inactive. With seven games left in the season, the second-year safety is chomping at the bit to get more opportunities.
