To join Dolphins
Miami plans to sign Brooks to a three-year, $30 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Following his third consecutive 100-plus tackle season with Seattle, Brooks is now set to start at inside linebacker for the Dolphins in 2024. Miami fielded the league's seventh-ranked run defense in 2023.

Takes step back in 2023
Brooks finished the 2023 season with 111 tackles (62 solo), 4.5 sacks, four pass breakups and a pick-six across 16 games.
Analysis: The return of Bobby Wagner meant Brooks took a backseat in the tackling department while Wagner led the league with 183 stops. However, Brooks set a career high with sacks and still posted his third straight season with more than 110 tackles. The Seahawks declined Brooks' fifth-year option before the season began, so he's set to be an unrestricted free agent in March if the team doesn't re-sign him.

Out for Sunday
Brooks (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick was surprisingly listed as questionable after a limited practice session Friday, but he's now set to miss Sunday's affair just as the Seahawks originally expected. In Brooks' stead, Devin Bush is expected to join Bobby Wagner as Seattle's top inside linebackers.

Could play Week 17
Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: This news comes as a surprise considering head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Tuesday that it would be hard for Brooks to play in Week 17 after exiting the Seahawks' win over the Titans with an ankle injury. Brooks began the Seahawks' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs, but after logging a limited session Friday, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the Texas Tech product is unable to overcome this ankle issue, Devin Bush would likely see increased work in Seattle's linebacker corps.

Misses walkthrough Wednesday
Brooks (ankle) was a nonparticipant at the Seahawks' walk-through Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks is "pretty sore" according to head coach Pete Carroll, and the team has to "wait and see what happens" this week after the linebacker was forced to exit Sunday's victory over Tennessee early due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old will look to make it back to practice before the end of the week in order to be available for Sunday's critical matchup with the Steelers.

Analysis: Brooks re-injured his ankle in the first quarter of last Sunday's win over the Titans. He initially sprained the ankle on Nov. 30 versus Dallas.

Looks unlikely for Week 17
Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that it was "going to be hard to get [Brooks] (ankle) back," Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brooks reaggravated a nagging ankle injury late in the first quarter of Sunday's win at Tennessee and sat out the rest of the game. If he can't go versus the Steelers, Devin Bush could draw the start against his old team in Week 17.

Limited in walk-through Wednesday
Brooks (ankle) was deemed limited in Wednesday's estimated practice session, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Brooks sprained his ankle Week 13 versus Dallas and missed most of that contest, but he's been able to suit up for both of Seattle's subsequent games. With that context, it seems likely he'll be able to play this Sunday in Tennessee unless he suffers a setback. Brooks has tallied 13 tackles (seven solo) over the two games since the injury occurred.

Clear to play Monday
Brooks (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Brooks did not practice Thursday but moved up to a limited session Friday and was a full participant Saturday. As such, he's been cleared to take the field against Philadelphia on Monday Night Football.

Gets in limited session Friday
Brooks (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

No practice Thursday
Brooks (ankle) did not practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks played through an ankle sprain in Week 13 but was still on the field for 85 percent of defensive snaps and tallied six tackles. Given that, it's likely he'll be ready to suit up Monday against the Eagles, though it would be reassuring for him to take the practice field either Friday or Saturday.

Officially questionable for Week 13
Brooks (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Brooks missed back-to-back practices to start the week but was able to log a limited session Friday. He sustained an ankle sprain in the Seahawks' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys and played a season-low 25 defensive snaps.

Misses practice Wednesday
Brooks (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

He sustained the injury in the first half of Week 12 against the Cowboys and did not return to the game. Brooks' practice participation throughout the week will give a clearer picture for his availability Sunday against the 49ers.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Brooks didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks tallied his second straight double-digit tackle effort this past Sunday in a loss to Baltimore, but he appears to have come away with a hamstring issue.

Analysis: Seattle was routed in the defeat, but Brooks continued to his standout season with his fifth double-digit tackle effort of the campaign.

Brooks is also up to 2.5 sacks on the year, which is already a career high for the 2020 first-round pick out of Texas Tech.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that he would be shocked if Brooks (knee) does not play in the regular-season opener, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The 2020 first-round pick has finished among the league's top-six leading tacklers each of the past two seasons, totaling 345 stops over this span.

Hopeful for Week 1
Brooks (knee-ACL) was back at practice Tuesday and the Seahawks are hopeful he will be ready for Week 1, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Brooks tore his ACL in Week 17 of last season, so a return for Week 1 would be quite the recovery.

Analysis: Brooks tore his right ACL in Week 17 of last season, spurring January surgery to repair the knee. Coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism in April that the middle linebacker would be able to practice at some point during training camp, and that has come to pass.

Brooks (knee) was placed on the Seahawks' active/PUP list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks was leading the NFL in tackles (161) at the time he suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 of last season, and he's still on the road to recovery. The 2020 first-round pick has been a great signal caller for Seattle's defense since being drafted, and he'll get some help in the linebacking corps with the return of Seahawks legend Bobby Wagner in 2023.

Analysis: Brooks underwent surgery on his knee a few weeks later and is apparently bouncing back well nearly three months removed from the procedure.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Brooks (knee) is "doing really well" in his recovery but remains without a specific timeline to return to the field, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks suffered a torn ACL in Week 17, and based off Carroll's comments, the Seahawks are optimistic that the linebacker's recovery is on schedule and that he'll be able to bounce back. At this stage, however, the 25-year-old isn't guaranteed to be ready for the start of the 2023 season.

Brooks announced via Instagram that he underwent surgery Thursday to address the torn ACL in his right knee, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brooks sustained this injury during the Week 17 win over the Jets, causing him to finish the 2022 campaign with 161 tackles over 16 games. This total still ranked sixth among all tacklers this regular season despite having his season cut one game short. Brooks did add that Thursday's operation was successful, per Henderson, though the typical nine-month rehab process for this injury makes it rather unlikely he'll be ready to suit up for the 2023 season opener.

Surgery upcoming
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Brooks will have surgery later this week to address the torn ACL he suffered in Week 17 against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Although Brooks' recovery process is now underway, he still remains without a specific timetable for a return to football-related activities. The 25-year-old will aim to be available for the start of next season, after he led Seattle with 161 stops across 16 games played during the 2022-23 campaign.

Heads to IR
Seattle placed Brooks (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks' move to season-ending IR was inevitable after he was confirmed to have suffered a torn ACL in his knee during this past Sunday's win over the Jets. Head coach Pete Carroll said Brooks will undergo surgery to address the injury once the swelling in his knee subsides. The 25-year-old linebacker was named a Pro Bowl alternate this season after racking up a team-high 161 tackles to go with five pass breakups, one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games. Given the timing of his ACL surgery,…read more

Done for season
Brooks was diagnosed with a torn ACL after exiting Sunday's win over the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brooks will miss the rest of the season after testing and a postgame MRI confirmed that the star linebacker suffered ligament damage to his knee. He'll likely undergo surgery in the coming days, and considering the timing of the injury, Brooks isn't a safe bet to be ready to go for the start of the 2023 season. Brooks was one of the more productive linebackers in IDP leagues through the first 17 weeks of the 2022 campaign, as he tallied a team-high 161 tackles to go with one sack, one forced…read more

Getting tests done on knee
Coach Pete Carroll said Brooks is undergoing tests on the knee injury that forced him from Sunday's win against the Jets, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Brooks entered Week 17 second in the NFL with 157 tackles, and he tacked on four more before exiting in the second quarter. Carroll noted the Seahawks "got our fingers crossed," so even though the inside linebacker wasn't able to put any weight on his leg at the time he suffered the injury, he may have avoided a worst-case scenario. The aforementioned tests likely will determine if Brooks misses the regular-season finale versus the Rams.

Will not return
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Brooks suffered what appeared to be a significant injury that led to immediate attention from a doctor and led to him being unable to put any weight on his leg. He did enter the team's medical tent right immediately and then he was ultimately carted off the field and to the locker room. This news is certainly a significant blow to the Seahawks and their defense as they push for a playoff spot in the last two weeks of the season. Tanner Muse has stepped into replace him at inside linebacker.

Analysis: Brooks once again played every defensive snap for Seattle this past weekend, and he now ranks No. 2 in the NFL with 157 stops on the year. The 25-year-old should continue operating in his usual every-down role when Seattle hosts the Jets on New Year's Day.

Set play Saturday
Brooks (neck) does not carry a game status ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Brooks was evaluated for a neck injury during the Seahawks' Week 16 loss to the 49ers, and he was limited during practice Wednesday after opening Week 16 prep with a full session Tuesday. Nevertheless, it appears he was able to work past this issue in time to suit up against Kansas City's prolific offense. Brooks has recorded 149 tackles, one sack and four passes defended over 14 games this season, so he could be in line for another massively productive outing Saturday.

Analysis: Brooks injured his neck during Seattle's Week 15 loss to San Francisco. He seemed to have put the injury behind him after he was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, but Wednesday's limited listing indicates he's not in the clear for Saturday's game in Kansas City just yet.

The 25-year-old was then deemed questionable to return, though it's unclear if he was able to return to this contest. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear the issue will limit Brooks heading into Saturday's game against Kansas City, and the third-year linebacker should continue to serve as Seattle's top tackler moving forward.

While the results of this evaluation are still unclear, the third-year linebacker was seen watching the game from the sideline without his helmet on, per Dugar.

Analysis: Brooks logged eight tackles before he was removed with a potential neck injury. Brooks was the league's second-leading tackler coming into Week 15, with 141 stops over 13 games this season.

Logs double-digit tackles again
Brooks posted 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-24 defeat versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Brooks tallied at least 10 tackles for the ninth time in 13 games this season. However, he actually finished as the team's third-leading tackler behind Cody Barton and Ryan Neal (knee). Brooks still far and away leads the Seahawks in tackles this season (141), and he now ranks just behind Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun (142) for the league's most tackles through Week 14. Brooks will serve a vital role in trying to slow down the 49ers' offense during Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
