Eagles' Pro Bowl guard Brooks suffers torn Achilles

Philadelphia Eagles right guard Brandon Brooks will miss the entire 2020 season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon, NBC's Derrick Gunn reports.

The three-time Pro Bowler confirmed the injury Monday on Twitter.

Brooks was PFF's highest-graded NFL guard in 2019, and the site's fifth-ranked player overall.

The 30-year-old signed a four-year, $54.2-million extension in November.

Philadelphia had arguably the league's best offensive line last season, but the unit is now expected to be without two familiar faces in 2020. Veteran left tackle Jason Peters is currently a free agent, with 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard projected to take his place after starting four games as a rookie. Jack Driscoll, a fourth-round rookie out of Auburn, is expected to compete for the starting job at right guard in Brooks' absence.
