PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has had surgery on his right ankle and is expected to be ready for the regular season.
The procedure was performed Friday in Baltimore by specialist Dr. Mark Myerson. He removed scar tissue and bone fragments from the ankle, which Westbrook initially injured in against Pittsburgh in Week 3 last season.
It’s uncertain if the two-time Pro Bowler will be ready by training camp. Veterans are to report to camp on July 29.
This is the second offseason surgery for Westbrook, who also had his left knee cleaned out shortly after the Eagles’ lost to Arizona in the NFC championship game.
He experienced pain in the ankle while rehabbing the knee.
