It did not look like he would be coming back either. He threw is glove down while walking and he was in no hurry to get to the locker room.

I agree. Doubt if he makes it back out.

Ankle. I think.

Let's not be too melodramatic. Looked like a sprained ankle to me.

preface: I'm playing against Westbrook
BUT as much as I hope he'll stay out, I would NOT be suprised if they shot him with a painkiller, added another roll of tape to the ankle, and brought him back out after the half. They will do X-Rays and all that fun stuff first, but they have that stuff on site, it won't take too long. If he IS out though...

Doubt he makes it back... probably week to week with an ankle sprain.

Now THIS is the kind of post I came into the thread to read. Screw Westbrook, how's Hauser's team doing?

Eagles | Westbrook to undergo MRI Monday
Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:07:54 -0700
The Associated Press reports X-rays on Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook's (ankle) ankle did not show any break, but he will undergo an MRI Monday, Sept. 22.
from KFFL...
Hauser's team, though it's early in the season, seems to be doing fine.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Eagles running back Brian Westbrook strained his ankle in Philadelphia’s 15-6 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday and will have an MRI on Monday.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said X-rays on the ankle were negative but the team would do more tests.
Westbrook did not speak with reporters but was on crutches in the locker room after the game.
Westbrook appeared to get hurt while hurdling a teammate on a 2-yard run early in the second period. He limped off the field and was attended to on the sideline before walking to the locker room. He did not return.
Incidentally...was poking around for the difference between sprain and strain:
A sprain is an injury to a ligament, and a strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains can occur without a sprain; however, when you have a sprain, you will almost always have a strain.
a strain stretches, twists, or otherwise overstresses nerve fibers, tendons, and muscles without doing serious damage; a sprain is more serious, a rupture or tear of a ligament that may take some time to repair itself, often with swelling and temporary loss of use. Each can be painful, but a sprain is likely to be worse.

Its good that there was no break - that was my #1 fear when I saw it happen because his foot almost went to a 90% angle for a brief second. Hopefully there's no tear and its just a bad strain.

I could have saved you 15 minutes...I don't think it'll be anything serious, but I'm just a PT, not HIS PT. Not much in the ankle that could keep him out for a long time unless it were a break or if he tore a ligament (3rd degree sprain). Chances are if it's a 2nd degree sprain he may not suit up for a week or 2. But, in the NFL there's a magical thing called cortisone injections that work wonders on athletes to keep them playing. Much like Lubchenko coming back to hit the game winning FG for Springfield University after his leg was hanging on just by his skin

Anyone have an update on hauser's team?

After he left the field there was a camera shot of him walking through the tunnel and he was limping badly.Edited to add: Hopefully he can shake it off and return next week, but the most important news will be the MRI. You never know what that will show.

Time for some constructive rhetoric.
Bettin' it's an ankle sprain.
Thinking they've got three weeks until a bye.... gives him a whole month to recover, and then some. Have him back after the BYE week with the 5-2 Iggles.

god I hope not....it didn't look that bad to me. Lots of speculation here in Philly, but There is no Break...no fracture. The MRI will tell us a lot more tomorrow.Looked like a season ending injury to me.

Not a chance.There is no way in hell that they would have let him walk off of the field on his own... and back to the locker room on hiis own, with a season ending ankle injury. I have had bad sprains that healed in 2 weeks, that simply could not be walked on directly afterwards. I am not talking about just pain either... I am talking that it isn't stable enough to walk on. This could be no worse than a strain, or a minor sprain.Looked like a season ending injury to me.

A few years back McNabb finished a game (with 4 TD's) on a (regular) season ending broken ankle.Just sayin...Not a chance.There is no way in hell that they would have let him walk off of the field on his own... and back to the locker room on hiis own, with a season ending ankle injury.

In addition to him limping badly as he was walking through the tunnel, I thought at one point I saw him slam his helmet down in frustration which is generally a sign that a player is in pain or knows the injury is a bad one. I'd be very surprised to see him ready to play this week, but as a Westy owner that just dropped Buckhalter Sunday morning to pickup Sammy Morris, I hope I am wrong.

And still have ten minutes left to make a sandwich and do some research on hauser's matchup for week 4.You could have sex. Five times.well lucky for me it was more like a 4 second cut n paste job...i get to keep those 15 minutes to waste somewhere elseWarriors Forever said:
