Eagles confirm Brandon Brooks will start in season opener vs. the Falcons

Despiting being a limited participant in two days of practice this week, the Eagles confirmed Brandon Brooks will start in season opener vs. the Falcons

Brandon Brooks is back, as the Eagles confirmed that the All-Pro right guard will start his first regular-season game since the 2020 season.

After being limited at practice for two days this week, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Brooks will start in the season opener at Atlanta on Sunday.

Sirianni also confirmed that Rodney McLeod (Knee) and Landon Dickerson (knee) have both been ruled out despite being cleared to practice.

Both players are returning from ACL injuries suffered last winter and are looking to return in the next few weeks.

Philadelphia is a 3.5-point road underdog for Sunday’s contest.

Brandon Brooks is back and as the Eagles quietly progress through phase two of their offseason workouts, the All-Pro right guard looks impressive in his return from an Achilles injury that cost him the 2020 season.

The Pro Bowl right guard miraculously returned to practice 6.5-months after tearing his Achilles last June and Brooks has been able to intensify his rehab work as he looks to re-establish himself as the top guard in football.

When Brandon Brooks tore his Achilles in Junes, the Eagles star right guard increased his strength and conditioning, taking his training to new heights.

Brooks is a quick healer and the Eagles must be aware because rather than put the All-Pro on injured reserve, the Birds placed him on the PUP list, likely securing a roster spot for this season.

Now Brooks has his boot off and in a video from his Instagram page, the Eagles star looks to be in phenomenal shape and ahead of schedule from his rehab.

Brooks’ placement on the PUP list was a surprise to some and although an Achilles tear is usually a nine-month rehab process, but it leaves room for the possibility that Brooks could make a late-season return in the event that Philadelphia makes a deep playoff run.

Eagles RG Brandon Brooks has a strong message for all the haters

Brandon Brooks says he’s never met a hater doing better than him

Brandon Brooks is a shining example of positivity and what having a great attitude can do for those who choose to exhibit the glass half full approach to life.

The Eagles All-Pro right guard recently tore an Achilles tendon again, the second tear in the last two years and he’s now torn both the right and left. Right than feel sorry for himself, Brooks hopped right back into action, performing Jijitsu just days after tearing his Achilles.

During a recent sitdown with Kristin Rodgers of Fox29 in Philadelphia, Brooks again was the power of positivity and delivered a strong message to his haters.

While talking about his injury with Jeff Skversky of 6ABC, Brooks admitted that he actually laughed when learning of this newest tear.

The Eagles star should be healthy and back running around in March or around the time of the start of the 2021 offseason training program.
