Source: Eagles CB Ron Brooks to have right leg surgery

A league source tells CSN's Derrick Gunn that Eagles cornerback Ron Brooks will require surgery to repair an injury to his right knee. The Philadelphia Daily News' Les Bowen is reporting the injury is a serious quadriceps rupture that will end Brooks' first season as an Eagle and put him on the shelf until next summer's training camp. Brooks, 28, is primarily the Eagles' slot corner, but he's also a standout on special teams.
