might need microfracture surgery after the season. Westbrook said that no surgery -- arthroscopic, microfracture or otherwise -- is on the horizon. "Really, the only people that know what's going on are me and some of the doctors I've seen," said Westbrook. "Any report from anybody outside of that circle, you've got to question the source."

Microfracture surgery is an extremely serious procedure that has had mixed results with NFL players -- some, such as Carolina running back DeShaun Foster, have come back and played well afterward. Others, such as former Eagles safety Rashard Cook, have never returned. ... For the record, Westbrook said his limited role against the Cowboys had more to do with his lack of practice work lately, which he said was also a factor in the fumble he lost on the Eagles' first drive. ... Stay tuned. We'll have more on Westbook as the week progresses.
