I joked with Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder this morning that he had the team's future in his hands. In the afternoon we got a glimpse at what I was joking with him about. Burkholder was working out Eagles feature running back Brian Westbrook.
Westbrook looked like he's been coming along quite well. He and Burkholder went up and down the practice field doing a series of drills.
You know he's anxious to get back in there but the Birds should take their time bringing him back. He's got nothing to prove at Lehigh or at the Nova Care Complex.
Lincoln Financial Field is his office.
Take your time is the word for Westbrook on his rehab.
BWest's health is one of the major question marks hovering over the season. If he's healthy, look out NFL.
Burkholder has said he expects Westbrook to be back in action in mid-August. That's in three weeks. I don't want to see him getting hit in three weeks.
