Westbrook to have surgery tomorrow
Tomorrow in Baltimore, Eagles running back Brian Westbrook will undergo surgery to clean up bone spurs in his right ankle, says Westbrook's agent Todd France to ESPN.com's Sal Paolantonio and John Clayton.
The surgery, which the Eagles term "a debridement" of the ankle, will be performed by Dr. Mark Myerson.
One source told the ESPN.com guys that the surgery could sideline Westbrook until well after the beginning of training camp, which starts July 29.
Said France: "We talked about it when he was at the doctor's office and went through the options and decided it was better to clean it up. The ankle has been bothering him since last year."
If that's the case, it's strange Westbrook would wait until this close to the beginning of the season to have the procedure done. Although, in his defense, Westbrook aggravated it further working out the past few weeks and Myerson said that playing through the pain with cortisone shots could be an option.
Westbrook had 936 rushing yards and 402 receiving yards last season and scored a career-high 14 touchdowns.

This guy has to be the most fragile player in all of football. If he sneezes too hard he misses 3-4 weeks. The Eagles better pick up a veteran running back before training camp. If/when Westbrook goes down during the season, I wouldn't trust the running game in the hands of Lorenzo Booker and LeSean McCoy. Then again, Reid will probably just have Donovan throw the ball 40 times a game if that happens. This is really bad news for the Eagles.
