PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Brian Westbrook believes he can still be a dynamic running back for the Philadelphia Eagles even as he recovers from injuries that cost him the entire preseason.
Westbrook had surgery to remove scar tissue and bone fragments from his right ankle in June. He also had his left knee cleaned out shortly after the Eagles lost to Arizona in the NFC championship game last January.
Westbrook said Wednesday that he feels fresh and hopes he’ll be back to normal after only a few carries. He believes he can be counted on to carry a full load in Sunday’s opener at Carolina.
Westbrook has two 1,000-yard seasons and he also just turned 30. Even as age and injuries take their toll on Westbrook, he says he’s still capable of playing at an elite level.
