Eagles' Brandon Brooks: Could return after eight weeks

Brooks (pectoral) is dealing with a potential eight-week recovery timetable, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Brooks' potential recovery timetable was disclosed by teammate Lane Johnson, so it's not necessarily an official update from the coaching staff. It's at least encouraging that the veteran guard's injury isn't season-ending, and he could return down the stretch of the regular season or in time for the playoffs. In the meantime, however, the likes of Landon Dickerson and Jack Anderson could struggle to replace Brooks' effectiveness.
