The Packers placed Brooks (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Brooks thus will miss at least the next four games, including Sunday against the Bears, due to the ankle injury that he sustained during a Week 4 win at Tampa Bay. With Josh Jacobs (personal) still on the commissioner's exempt list, MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong are the current healthy running backs on Green Bay's active roster.
Brooks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Brooks is set to begin the season as one of Green Bay's top three available running backs alongside MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the NFL placed Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List on Sunday.
Jacobs will spend an indeterminate amount of time on the Commissioner's Exempt List while his legal situation is sorted out. His absence creates an opportunity for Green Bay's running backs. Brooks is the most experienced of the team's available options at the position, having appeared in 41 regular-season games, including 32 with the Packers. Injuries have limited the currently healthy Lloyd to just one regular-season appearance in two years, while the recent trade acquisition Johnson seemed to be on the verge of being cut by Pittsburgh following a 28-carry rookie campaign in 2025.
Brooks rushed five times for 12 yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Packers' 33-13 preseason win over the Broncos on Friday.
