Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks sustained an Achilles tendon tear recently, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia's Derrick Gunn.

Brooks, a 30-year-old veteran guard and starter for the Eagles' offensive line season the 2016 campaign, later shared the news himself via social media.

Brooks, signed by the Eagles during the 2016 offseason, inked a five-year, $40 million deal with Philly, later contributing to the first Super Bowl victory in franchise history the next year during the 2017-18 season and playoffs. Brooks started his professional tenure as a third-round selection by the Houston Texans in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Brooks, however, rejuvenated his career in Philadelphia, and the Wisconsin native had been selected to the last three Pro-Bowls, all representing the Eagles.

Entering the fifth year of his contract with Philly, Brooks' last season under the original framework of the 2016 contract with the Eagles will be essentially vaporized before even commencing, as the Achilles injury will sideline the offensive guard for the entirety of the 2020 campaign.

The absence of Brooks is further exacerbated by Jason Peters' situation. The 38-year-old offensive tackle is a free agent after playing out the 2019 season following a one-year contract signed last offseason. Peters is an 11-year veteran with the Eagles, spending the first five years of his distinguished NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, and both the offensive lineman and Philly have yet to seriously negotiate a contract to keep Peters with the NFC East franchise for another year.

After Brooks' blowing injury, though, it's safe to believe the Eagles will consider bringing back Peters with stronger conviction to shore up the offensive line.
