Brooks (pectoral), who agreed earlier Wednesday to a restructured contract with the Eagles, announced his retirement from the NFL, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
The Eagles were likely informed of Brooks' intentions before he restructured the deal. When healthy, the 32-year-old was inarguably one of the top right guards in the NFL during his career, but he sustained four major injuries in the last three years and made just two appearances in 2021 due to a pectoral tear. With Brooks headed for retirement, Philadelphia could rely upon Jack Driscoll (ankle) as a starter during the 2022 campaign. Brooks ends his career with one Super Bowl ring and three Pro Bowl nods.
