# Is Chris Brooks injured? What is his NFI status for training camp?

Yes, Chris Brooks is currently on the **non-football injury (NFI) list**. He was placed there at the start of training camp on **July 27, 2026**, after failing his physical before the first practice on July 29. The injury occurred outside team activities. (from the [Chris Brooks page](https://chatffb.com/players/chris-brooks))

The good news: he can be activated at any point during camp, so it's not a season-ending situation. However, he is missing early practices and team drills, which opens the door for **MarShawn Lloyd** — who is having a healthy camp for the first time in years — to seize more reps. And with Josh Jacobs now on the Commissioner's Exempt List as of Aug 30, the Packers also traded for **Kaleb Johnson**, so Brooks may have a tougher path to relevance even when he returns.
