On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles guard Brandon Brooks revealed that anxiety is the reason for his first-quarter exit from Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
The team initially labeled his ailment as general “illness,” but Brooks peeled back the curtain with a Twitter post explaining what he was dealing with.

Brooks has been open in the past about his struggles with anxiety, including when he missed two games in 2016 for related symptoms.
In a radio interview, Monday, Eagles coach Doug Pedersen said, “It’s something that he’s dealing with each and every day of his life. You never really know what triggers it. We’re here to support him, and we love him.”
