Well, so much for the Philadelphia Eagles having better injury luck this year.
Despite an unusual offseason with no spring practices, the Eagles still managed to suffer a season-ending injury months ahead of Week 1 with Brandon Brook tearing his Achilles.
Just how big of a loss is this? Jimmy Kempski and I debated that and much more in the latest BGN Radio podcast episode. Stream the conversation below or [CLICK HERE TO LISTEN]:

- The on-field impact of losing Brooks:
In Brandon Brooks' four years in Philadelphia, the Eagles are 41-23 when he plays at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps. They're 0-6 when he's out or plays fewer than 50 percent of the offensive snaps.
