Brandon Brooks and his playing status is the Eagles biggest unknown entering Week 15

Philadelphia #Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says there’s no current update on the status of injured right guard Brandon Brooks for Week 15 matchup vs. #WashingtonFootball Team #FlyEaglesFly

The Eagles have returned from the bye week and as the team starts preparation for a Week 15 matchup against Washington, the status of right guard Brandon Brooks is still the biggest unknown.

Asked on Wednesday about the talented offensive guard, head coach Nick Sirianni literally was unable to update Brooks’s status going forward and the secrecy has some wondering if the veteran we’ll return at all this season.

Brooks exited the Eagles Week 2 loss to the 49ers with a chest injury and his designation was initially listed as an 8-12 week process.

With Brooks and Jack Driscoll both out, Nate Herbig has been solid in relief at right guard and could flourish this week with Washington battling a COVID-19 outbreak.
