Nobody knows anything about what’s going on with Brandon Brooks.
He’s now missed two of the past three games with a mysterious illness that the Philadelphia Eagles remain mum about. Head coach Doug Pederson said during his press conference Monday that the team will try and figure out the specifics of the illness.

Such a weird situation involving the right guard, who Pederson said was fine during the team meeting Saturday night.
The Eagles had a lengthy list of injured players during Sunday’s 27-22 loss to the Washington Redskins. Long snapper Jon Dorenbos is out for the season after having surgery on his wrist Monday morning, running back Darren Sproles is in concussion protocol and running back Wendell Smallwood has an MCL sprain.
Safety Jaylen Watkins tore a tendon in the index finger of his right hand and Matt Tobin also suffered an MCL sprain, which occurred on the play prior to getting beat by Ryan Kerrigan on the strip-sack.
Tackle Allen Barbre had a hamstring injury and tight end Brent Celek suffered a stinger. Both are expected to be held out of Wednesday’s practice, but should be good to go Sunday when the Eagles travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens.
Prior to Sunday’s game, the Eagles were the least injured team in the NFL with 45 missed man games. The Tennessee Titans were second on the list with 63.
