Westbrook Has An Ankle Problem
Posted by Mike Florio on June 3, 2009, 9:49 a.m.

On Tuesday, it appeared that the absence of Eagles running back Brian Westbrook from voluntary offseason practice was related to his surgically-repaired knee.

Instead, Westbrook sat out because of an ankle problem.

"His knee is feeling good," coach Andy Reid said, according to Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer.  "So, yeah, it's just his ankle at the moment."

But the specific extent and origin of the injury isn't clear.

"I wish I could tell you more, but I don't know more right this minute," Reid said.  "But we'll know more as we go on here the next couple of days."

Westbrook injured his ankle in September, against the Steelers.  It widely was believed as the season unfolded that the knee was causing Westbrook greater problems.

this farging guy-

Comcast Sportsnet in Philadelphia reports that Brian Westbrook has a high right ankle sprain that may require ankle surgery but "should be "ready for the opener

Per ESPN.com

Surgery is for bone spurs, nothing to do with the high ankle sprain, which Westbrook apparently has too.

"Hey Edgerrin, this is Andy..."

[PhillyPhreak54]

How the hell did he get a high ankle sprain?

What do you want with Edgerrin James? 2.8ypc?

[reese125]

interesting you say that..that was westbrooks yd/avg the last 6 games of the season

i dont care who they get phreak really...they need to get veteran help to share the load at tailback after this shtein setback. how many more injuries and surgeries do you need from this guy to make it clear?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Until he's no longer Brian Westbrook. It is June, I'm sure he will be fine once August rolls around.

His ypc the final 6 games was because of his health.

If you want a veteran RB, I'm cool with that. But not Edgerrin James.

I dont know anyone else that is out there to scoop

all reports saying this could very well go into the regular season, and with booker barely even able to make the roster last year, that leaves your fb weaver and a rookie--good times

And its JUNE. its not going to take him 4 months to heal from this.

No reports said that.

really? interesting

Per rotoworld:

The agent gave no timetable for Westbrook's return, but a source told ESPN that he could be sidelined "well into training camp."

Per PFT:

CSN reported that Westbrook won't be ready until the start of the regular season.

[QB Eagles]

How did "well into training camp" translate into "into the regular season"?

Of course, it's correct to be concerned about Westbrook. The guy is banged up in all kinds of ways and he's coming off a down year.
