Season so far
It is early in the season for Karl Brooks, who has logged just one appearance and 54 graded snaps so far in 2026. His season began with a detrimental 54.9 overall grade against Atlanta, weighed down heavily by a 51.4 mark in run defense. In that contest, he routinely lost gap integrity after being washed out, sealed, or pinned by down blocks and double teams, leading directly to goal-line touchdowns. He managed to flash occasional resilience by anchoring against double teams and hustling for a high-effort pursuit tackle, but his pass rush was otherwise stagnant at a neutral 60.9 grade. With only a single week of play on record, there is not yet enough data to establish a multi-week trajectory.
