After what can only be described as an eventful rookie season, New York Jets signal caller Mark Sanchez has made the decision to undergo some offseason surgery on his left knee to repair an injury that occurred during his time with the USC Trojans. It was determined that the Sanchise would not need any procedures on his right knee in which he suffered a PCL sprain early in this past season. That knee was made famous by the Rex Ryan outburst about his quarterback taking sliding lessons from New York Yankees star Derek Jeter in order to avoid such issues in the future. More »

The NFL has been trying for years to sell the importance of an exhibition all-star game to its players from a marketing standpoint, yet now that the AFC quarterback roster consists of Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans, David Garrard of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans, it doesn’t appear they are buying in; at all. With the withdrawals of both Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers and Tom Brady from the New England Patriots shortly after their respective teams were eliminated from the postseason and Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts having an obvious schedule confliction, the Pro Bowl has become more of a 2nd team event.

Not sure how your 401k is doing for your retirement? Well these guys don’t exactly have those issues in mind, but Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook, and Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed and wide receiver Derrick Mason have all publicly stated their desires to retire from the game.

While the topic of this article is not all too surprising, it remains a tough one to swallow. The Eagles’ versatile RB Brian Westbrook, who has done quite enough to earn his spot in the team history books, is reportedly considering retirement due to a variety of injury issues. He sustained a pair of concussions during the 2009 campaign, and missed half the season. But that was not his only problem; Westbrook also dealt with pain in his ankles and knees (which are obviously important parts of a Running Back’s body). And to add to that, he underwent surgical procedures in the offseason prior for bone spurs, and is known for a career filled with injuries involving his legs. More »

Week 16 is nearly here, and the Eagles are just about ready to take on the Denver Broncos. The lists of players that will not be playing were released for both teams, and unlike previous weeks, there were a few surprises on Philadelphia’s. WR Kevin Curtis, who has been struggling to keep his knee healthy all year, was able to play last week for the first time since Week 2, and was on track to suit up once again for this week’s action. However, the veteran has been dubbed inactive against the Broncos and therefore will not participate. In addition to Curtis sitting out, backup QB Michael Vick (pictured) has been ruled out because of an injury sustained in his thigh and quad muscle against the 49ers in Week 15. More »

As the 2009 season winds down, the Eagles are in great position to go far into the playoffs. They are getting healthy at the right time, Brian Westbrook is fresh and (hopefully) healthy. Today marks the return of Brian Dawkins to Philadelphia. I don’t know what kind of impact his presence will have on this Eagles team, but hopefully it’s not too much of a distraction. If the Eagles can get pressure on Kyle Orton, Orton will make mistakes and the Eagles will win this game. Brandon Marshall is a beast and you can’t stop him, but hopefully we can contain him. Come on back to this page at kickoff for a (awesome) live blog and follow along as the Eagles continue their march into the playoffs. More »

The Eagles seem to be getting healthy at the perfect time. With a playoff spot secured and simply a battle for the division title left in the regular season, several key players on the team are recovering from injuries and there are few that have them, to the delight of both the organization and the fan base. RB Brian Westbrook, who has been out of 8 games this year with multiple issues, most recently from a pair of concussions, is set to return this week against the Broncos, as is rookie WR Jeremy Maclin. Maclin was held out of Week 15 and part of the previous game because of a tear in his plantar fascia, a body tissue that supports the arch of his foot. More »

Although there were strong implications that WR Jeremy Maclin was not going to suit up for the Eagles’ game this weekend against the 49ers, the rookie was officially ruled out by the team today. Another key offensive contributor (well, for other years, at least) was removed from possibility of playing as well, in RB Brian Westbrook (pictured). The veteran runner has missed a total of 7 games this year, most recently because of rehabilitation from multiple concussions, and despite a few indications that the 3-time Pro-Bowler might finally return this week, will sit out an 8th matchup.
