Eagles Lose RG Brandon Brooks To Torn Achilles

Jun 16, 2020 9:25 AM

Philadelphia Eagles right guard Brandon Brooks revealed Monday that he recently tore his left Achilles tendon.

"So I guess now that news is out yes I tore my other Achilles but when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. I'll be back and better than ever. Appreciate the love," he wrote on Twitter.

The injury occurred at the Eagles' NovaCare Complex, where Brooks has been rehabbing from late-season shoulder surgery, according to a source.

Brooks had previously ruptured his right Achilles in a 2018 divisional playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints.

The 30-year-old has been selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls. He signed a four-year, $56.5 million extension in November that included $30 million guaranteed.

Raiders' Henry Ruggs III Injured Thigh During Move

Jun 2, 2020 8:57 AM

Las Vegas Raiders rookie receiver Henry Ruggs III suffered a cut to his thigh recently while moving things into a trailer, according to his father.

Ruggs was the Raiders' top draft pick.

A source said the team was "told [Ruggs] will be fine."

"He was trying to move a trailer or something -- move furniture or something -- and the trailer just kind of pinned him against a car or a wall or something," Henry Ruggs Jr. said. "He's pretty much OK, I'm about to go out there and see him in a little bit. It was just like a little open wound on his leg, a little incision. Like something had stuck him right there on his thigh a little bit."
