Reid: Westbrook a game time decision

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.

We will never be able to run the ball with Softy36 as starting RB. Should have kept Buck, at least he had power and wasnt scared to run between the tackles.

@ 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 isn't right....Reid should not be saying this. Bwest can't possibly come back this Sunday and play without signing his life away first. "Game time decision" my as__! See you in 3 weeks....hopefully.

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.

The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
