Brian Westbook is seriously considering retiring due to a nagging knee injury, according to WIP radio's Howard Eskin. Westbrook will reportedly meet with team doctors in the coming weeks to discuss his options for the future.
Earlier in the season, rumors swirled that the oft-injured running back was considering retirement, but those were attributed to his concussions, two of which he suffered this season. Eskin reports that it's the left knee that is hampering Westbrook, which was surgically repaired in the past.
Eskin says there is "almost no chance" Westbrook plays another game for the Eagles -- he has one year left on his contract -- and that the knee is in such bad condition, Westbrook may not even me able to pass a team physical to play elsewhere.

if it is the end
it has been one hell of a career, thank you BWest, i salute you
I absolutely decline to offer my opinion on or read any posts about the McNabb v. Kolb debacle. Those posts never end and I choose to sit back and wait to see what happens. This is going to be a long offseason.
