It’s an ‘illness’. ‘He’ll be fine’. That’s pretty much all that we got from Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson as he tried to shed some light on why his Pro Bowl right guard, Brandon Brooks, was absent during Sunday’s practice session, the team’s fourth practice of this young 2018 training camp.
Brooks stands at six-foot-five and weighs 335 pounds, so when he’s missing, it’s pretty easy to notice.
Let’s get some of you caught up.
We all knew something was wrong when Brooks left practice Saturday. The All-Pro has started 74 of the 80 games he’s appeared in over the last six seasons.
