Injury Update

[Eaglez]

Tough call. With a lot of our divisional games after the bye, if getting the surgery done means he'll be viable for those games, then I say do it. Try and drain it this week and get him ready for the Cowboys, but if it persists it's better to get it done now than wait and risk aggravating it.

[Munson]

I think you keep him up until the JAX game, and if he really does need it, do it then. I think we'll need him to beat JAX.

Eagles | Westbrook might need arthroscopic surgery
Tue, 3 Oct 2006 19:22:51 -0700

Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (knee) might need arthroscopic surgery on his knee if rest does not resolve his recurring problems. Westbrook would miss two to six weeks if he had the surgery, but he would then be fine and not have to worry about how his knee is on a week-to-week basis. The team has recently acknowledged Westbrook has a bone bruise, which usually means there is damage to the articular cartilage. Westbrook's agent, Fletcher Smith, said he and the team have not yet discusses Westbrook's options.

He brought that up on Daily News Live and it it purely speculation. He said that might be a  possibility if the knee doesn't get better.

[Munson]

In that case, farg it. If he wants, he can get it at the end of the season. If the knee is just sore, he's played through it before and he can play through it again.

Friggin Les Bowen...

Apparently Eskin said that Stallworth is out 2 weeks too.

This is after Reid said he was day to day.

[rjs246]

That's super.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The offense will be fine without both Stallworth and Westbrook.

What I mean to say is that they'll be fine at losing spectacularly.

Czarnecki on FOX

There is a good chance that Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (left knee) will try to play, although he apparently will need microfracture surgery, similar to what Carolina's DeShaun Foster underwent, once the season is over.

Hmmm....

[QB Eagles]

Why do I get the feeling that I'll be seeing Brian Westbrook leaving the field on a stretcher or cart before this season is over? 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Spads said on FOX29 that a decision will be made about 1430hrs.

He'll come out at 1400hrs to run and warm up and then a decision will be made based on that.
