Eagles right guard Brandon Brooks on Monday tore his left Achilles tendon while working out at the NovaCare Complex, according to sources. He will miss the entire 2020 season. 

I’m told Brooks knew the severity of the injury right away and was devastated. He injured himself running on a practice field. 

Brooks confirmed the news on Monday night:

This is the third significant injury in less than three years for Brooks. He has now torn both Achilles tendons and also needed surgery this offseason on his shoulder after dislocating it in the 2019 regular season finale. He missed the playoff game against the Seahawks. Because he was returning from a previous injury, Brooks was allowed to work out at the NovaCare Complex. 

Since arriving as a free agent from Houston in 2016, Brooks has started 62 regular season games and five playoff games while becoming one of the best guards in the league. Brooks is under contract through the 2024 season. 

Doug Pederson has a video press conference scheduled for 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning. 

 

 

Man this sucks!

The season is ours?

Edit: Achilles, not ACL

It's actually his left Achilles, not an ACL.

It is a joke. You said ACL not his Achilles 

You have got to be kidding. 

Hopefully our next guy up is good. Would be great if we could just have Peters come back to be the guard.

You know what, this might be an issue for many teams. Whenever there is lack of activity and then a rush to it, you get these issues. Another possible COVID impact...

Son of a 

Just great!!!!!! Best RG in the game. Gone.

If its further up the foot and he works hard, could be back in time for the playoffs...

My goodness the hits just keep coming. JP to guard?

It's becoming annoying now

Every damn year now there's an injury to a key player

Cool. 2020 has just been amazing

Time to look into it.

Uggg. Looks like the injuries are starting early this year. 

How??? They aren't any team activities happening!

I can see we're off to a good start on the injury front.

Gotta feel for Brooks. Three major injuries in three consecutive years, yes?

Time to sign Peters.

Oh well. Next man up. A starting player being hurt at this point isn't even a shock. 

For those wondering, Jason Peters does nothing to help with this. He's already washed and has never played guard. Please stop suggesting him.

Time to get Jason back in the Nova complex. But, it leaves me wondering if he will be receptive to making the switch knowing the team needs him to do it. Of course he could go back to LT and then the FO and coaching staff have to get Matt Pryor ready. Then, worry about the mental w/ Dillard later. If/When there is a season.
