Did the Eagles know about the surgery before? I do cannot grasp the concept of letting go of Buckhalter, and drafting a RB, then sending your workhorse off to surgery. A two back system is the NFL of today, but when you have an injury prone RB such as Westbrook, wouldn't it make more sense to have a reliable, proven backup and then maybe a rookie just in case?
