Reid: Westbrook a game time decision

options
 

Test are still being conducted on Brian Westbrook, who suffered a concussion Monday night, and a decision as to whether he can play Sunday against the Giants will be a game time decision, Eagles coach Andy Reid said.

Westbrook was knocked off for several moments in the first quarter of the Eagles' 27-17 win over the Redskins. He walked off the field, but never returned. Reid said that Westbrook felt fine and that the running back has shown positive signs of recovery.

Several other Eagles players will be held out of practice today. There are: wide receiver DeSean Jackson (foot), safety Macho Harris (ankle), defensive end Darren Howard (calf) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (quadriceps). Wide receiver Kevin Curtis (knee), defensive end Victor Abiamiri (knee) and linebacker Omar Gaither (foot) are most likely out for Sunday.

More to come.

    @ WewantaSBRing You obviously didn't SEE the injury or the hit---if you had, you would be able to determine that it could have happened to ANYONE...except for you since you aren't on anyone's field...thanks!

    This team is a mess. When they play decent teams, they're going to lose. They are trying to make Mike Vick a RB with about 5 touches a game and that is ridiculous. He's a QB not a RB nor is any one of the 32 starting QBs in the league. Put McNabb in their at wildcat with 5 touches and let him get pounded. With everyone knowing he's going to run, he has no flow, no options, nothing. Trade him and let him start in some other city. Philly deserves Reid, McNabb, and Westbrook and all their assorted injuries.
