Oldskool Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 From Rotoworld.com Westbrook The Eagles revealed Monday that Brian Westbrook fractured his ribs against the Redskins Sunday. Westbrook's ankle appeared to be fine Sunday, but now he's got a more serious injury. Philadelphia's bye week comes at a great time, and the recovery time from this sort of injury depends on a lot of variables (what ribs, how many ribs, how serious the fracture, etc.) We'll update once we know more. Oct. 6 - 12:09 pm et Source: PhiladelphiaEagles.com And I kind of, not really, called it last night... http://www.extremeskins.com/showpost.php?p=5642532&postcount=333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Is it common practice with rib injuries to compress them like the Eagles did to Westbrook during the first half? Knowing now that the ribs were broken, that seems like it would hurt, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing now that the ribs were broken, that seems like it would hurt, lol They didn't think he had broken ribs. They thought that he had a chest stinger or a strain in his rib muscles and were trying to loosen them. In hindsight, knowing his ribs were broken it wasn't a good move.

Knowing now that the ribs were broken, that seems like it would hurt, lol Oh yes - like hell. I cracked a rib playing football back in the day, and it hurt to breath never mind have some guy bouncing on your chest. I missed two weeks and then they got me an inflatable flack jacket and sent me back out to face the music. I was young and stupid and went ......

KingSprings Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The just had a doctor on 610 wip in Philly. He says Westbrook could possibly still play it just depends on which ribs and how much pain he can tolerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointyfootball Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The just had a doctor on 610 wip in Philly. Is he gainfully employed? Doesn't matter. WB should not play (I don't even need to look at X-rays to come to this conclusion) until after the Atlanta game. That will give him 3 weeks of rest/recuperation. If the Eagles can't beat both San Fran and Atlanta, then he might as well take 3-20 more weeks off because they won't need him after that anyway.

pointyfootball Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 They probably didn't know. Yea...they'd have to have an X-ray machine in the locker room to be able to tell if they were fractured. :cool: Biting Sarcasm, PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Man... that's a horrible gaffe on the part of the Eagles' medical staff. Westbrook is the key to their offense, and to not do everything and anything to make sure they know what's wrong before sending him back in was really damaging.
