Brooks (pectoral), who agreed earlier Wednesday to a restructured contract with the Eagles, announced his retirement from the NFL, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles were likely informed of Brooks' intentions before he restructured the deal. When healthy, the 32-year-old was inarguably one of the top right guards in the NFL during his career, but he sustained four major injuries in the last three years and made just two appearances in 2021 due to a pectoral tear. With Brooks headed for retirement, Philadelphia could rely upon Jack Driscoll (ankle) as a starter during the 2022 campaign. Brooks ends his career with one Super Bowl ring and three Pro Bowl nods.

The Eagles and Brooks (pectoral) agreed Wednesday on a reworked contract Wednesday that reduces his compensation by over $15 million over the final three years of his deal, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks played just two games in 2021, as he suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 2. His new deal with create over $12 million in cap space for the Eagles in 2022. Assuming he makes a full recovery from the injury, Brooks should slot back into a starting role at right guard next season.

Brooks (pectoral) is unlikely to return for Sunday's regular season finale versus the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis

Brooks (pectoral) has no timetable for a return according to head coach Nick Sirianni, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks suffered the injury in Week 2 against the 49ers. He was expected to miss up to eight weeks but that timeframe passed long ago. With only two weeks left in the regular season, Brooks is running low on time for a return.

Brooks (pectoral) will remain out through the Eagles' Week 14 bye, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks suffered the injury in the Eagles' Week 2 matchup with the 49ers. Originally expected to miss eight weeks, Brooks has already moved past that timeline. He'll try to continue making progress, so that after the Eagles' bye week he'll have a shot at being activated.

Brooks (pectoral) is dealing with a potential eight-week recovery timetable, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks' potential recovery timetable was disclosed by teammate Lane Johnson, so it's not necessarily an official update from the coaching staff. It's at least encouraging that the veteran guard's injury isn't season-ending, and he could return down the stretch of the regular season or in time for the playoffs. In the meantime, however, the likes of Landon Dickerson and Jack Anderson could struggle to replace Brooks' effectiveness.

The Eagles placed Brooks (pectoral) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks will miss at least three weeks after being placed on IR, but his injury isn't expected to be season ending. Landon Dickerson replaced the 32-year-old during Sunday's contest and will likely draw the start against the Cowboys on Monday. Another option may be right guard Jack Anderson, who the Eagles recently signed from the Bills' practice squad.

Brooks was diagnosed with a pectoral sprain Monday and will probably go on injured reserve, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks suffered the injury in the first half of Sunday's contest against the 49ers and was replaced by Landon Dickerson. The 32-year-old's injury isn't expected to be season ending, but a trip to the IR is likely. In his absence, Dickerson should draw starts at right guard for the foreseeable future.

Brooks (chest) won't return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks injured his chest during the first half of Week 2. Nate Herbig or Landon Dickerson will likely slide in at right guard while the 32-year-old is sidelined.

Brandon Brooks left Sunday's game against the 49ers with a chest injury and is questionable to return, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks' departure is a big loss for the Eagles offense. Nate Herbig or Landon Dickerson will pick up the slack until the 32-year-old can return.
