The season hasn't even started yet, and the Eagles are faced with another injury to star halfback, Brian Westbrook. The Villanova alum has been one of the biggest threats in the league while with the Eagles. But Westbrook has struggled to stay healthy, and he will now be getting surgery on his right ankle during the offseason. The Birds hope that Westbrook will be healthy by training camp, and ready to make an impact on the Eagles' upcoming season.
Westbrook's Injury Problem

Who is LeSean McCoy?
The 2nd round draft pick out of Pittsburgh appears to be the successor of Brian Westbrook. With Westbrook possibly missing their upcoming training camp, McCoy will get his shot to shine with the first team and prove that he can play on Sundays. In college, McCoy showed a mixture of power and speed that kept opposing defenses on their heels all throughout his career. Before last season, Andy Reid was never known for starting rookies, especially offensively, but after DeSean Jackson's successful rookie campaign, LeSean McCoy may get to play ( or start ) early on in the season.
