DBW Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 This is not a joke. go ahead and blame the medical staff on this. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/brandon-brooks-achilles-2020-nfl-season Quote 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: Quote 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchew88 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSEagle Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstonr Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Time to sign Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICWOOFLAIR Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Oh well. Next man up. A starting player being hurt at this point isn't even a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSEagle Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 For those wondering, Jason Peters does nothing to help with this. He's already washed and has never played guard. Please stop suggesting him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seengreen Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 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.
