According to the team's official web site, Burkholder would not put a specific timeframe on the running back's recovery. He said Westbrook will be on a non-weight bearing cast for two weeks and then take it week by week from there. "I am not concerned about this injury," Burkholder said. "We feel pretty comfortable that he will be ready for the start of the regular season. I think he's going to come back in better shape. I think he's going to come back in the best shape of his life. ..." Meanwhile, HC Andy Reid acknowledged that the team is keeping its options open in terms of the waiver wire, but does not feel a sense of urgency to add another running back at the moment.
