PHILADELPHIA — Brandon Brooks will retire after six years with the Eagles and 10 years in the NFL.
The Pro Bowl guard made the announcement in a video news conference with local reporters Wednesday, thanking the Eagles organization and saying the decision came down to health. Brooks, 32, has suffered season-ending injuries every year since 2017 and has appeared in just two games since the 2020 season.
“After all these injuries, I just realize that, at what point do you listen to your body?” Brooks said. “I think my body was telling me that I had to make a decision. I think at this point in time, it was the right decision.”
