Philadelphia, PA -- (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook had surgery on his right ankle Friday.

The Eagles said Westbrook had two bone fragments removed and scar tissue cleaned out. In addition, there was some inflammation in the tendon that moves his big toe because that tendon was laying up against a loose bone fragment.

While there is no specific timetable for Westbrook's return, Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said it shouldn't affect him for the start of the season.

"Brian's doing well," said Burkholder at a Friday news conference. "He's going to be non-weight bearing for two weeks, then will see the doctor and we'll take it week-by-week from there.

"We feel pretty comfortable he'll be back by the beginning of the season, but whether he'll be back by the beginning of training camp it's too early to tell."

The two-time Pro Bowl selection underwent a procedure called a debridement, performed by Dr. Mark Meyerson in Baltimore.

"I am not concerned about this injury," Burkholder stated. "We had an option to do or not do it and we decided to do it. He's going to be in really good shape come [the] season."

Westbrook, who turns 30 by the opening of the 2009 campaign, ran the ball for a career-low tying 4.0 yards per carry last year, amassing 936 yards on the ground and 402 through the air, a far cry from a career-high 2,104 yards from scrimmage the year before.

The oft-injured back has played in at least 12 games each season throughout his seven-year career -- all with Philadelphia -- compiling 5,721 yards on the ground, 3,609 receiving yards on 401 grabs and 64 total touchdowns.
