For Brooks, it’s the second straight season that he’s suffered an injury during the Eagles playoff run. Brooks was carted off the field and replaced by second-year guard Matt Pryor on Sunday.
With Brooks being named the NFL’s highest-rated guard, it’s imperative that the All-Pro is in the lineup against a fierce NFC West pass rush, whether it be the Niners or Seahawks.
