Eagles Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks is expected to miss the upcoming NFL season after tearing his left Achilles tendon.
Brooks revealed the news via Twitter on Monday after reportedly hurting himself while working out at Philadelphia's training complex.
So I guess now that news is out yes I tore my other Achilles but when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. I’ll be back and better than ever. Appreciate the love

The seven-year veteran previously tore his right Achilles tendon during the Eagles' loss to the Saints in the 2018 playoffs.
Brooks returned in time for the 2019 campaign and started all 16 regular-season games before suffering a dislocated shoulder against the Giants in Week 17, forcing him to miss the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Seahawks in January.

Including the postseason, Brooks has started 67 of a possible 70 games since signing a five-year contract with the Eagles prior to the 2016 campaign. He has made the Pro Bowl each of the past three seasons.
Philadelphia may now have to replace two key starters on the offensive line from last season's team, as longtime left tackle Jason Peters remains an unsigned free agent.
The Eagles did select Andre Dillard in the first round of the 2019 draft as an intended replacement for the 38-year-old Peters and took a pair of Auburn offensive linemen — Jack Driscoll (fourth round) and Prince Tega Wanogho (sixth round) — in this year's draft.
