| 12th December, 2005 - 5:02 pm |  ESPN - Running back Brian Westbrook is finished for the season after the Eagles placed him on injured reserve Monday.
Westbrook, however, doesn't need surgery for his foot injury, called a Lis Franc sprain.
"This should heal up," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "It may take six to nine weeks to get right."
Westbrook is the fourth Pro Bowl player Philadelphia has lost in the last month, joining quarterback Donovan McNabb, cornerback Lito Sheppard and left tackle Tra Thomas. Also, All-Pro wideout Terrell Owens was suspended and sent home for the rest of the season.
Westbrook hurt his foot in the first half of last Monday night's 42-0 loss to Seattle. Rookie Ryan Moats had 114 yards rushing and two TDs on just 11 carries in an overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday. [READ] |
