Even though he practiced both Wednesday and Thursday, Brian Westbrook didn't take any repetitions at practice today and is listed as questionable for Sunday's showdown against the Cowboys.

Nevertheless, coach Andy Reid reiterated Wednesday's statement that Westbrook was "good to go" after missing last week's game against the Giants because of a concussion he suffered against the Redskins. According to Reid, Westbrook didn't have a recurrance of a headache and was held out as a precaution. The Eagles have lessened Westbrook's Friday load before.

Linebacker Chris Gocong, meanwhile, missed his third straight day of practice and was listed as doubtful. Defensive end Victor Abiamiri (knee) was also doubtful. Gocong has quadriceps and hamstring injuries. If he can't play, rookie Moise Fokou will earn his first career NFL start.

Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley (knee), safety Macho Harris (ankle) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (quadriceps, hand) were also listed as questionable. Reid said he felt confident that Bunkley would be able to play.

He also felt fairly sure about the availability of the following players who were listed as probable: defensive end Chris Clemons (shoudler, elbow), guard Nick Cole (knee), guard Todd Herremans (foot), defensive end Darren Howard (ankle), wide receiver DeSean Jackson (foot), guard Max Jean-Gilles (shoulder), wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (foot) and tackle Jason Peters (ankle).

Wide receiver Kevin Curtis (knee) is out.

Wow, has Westbrook ever been more than questionable in the last three years. Why must we do this dance very week? Everyone knows he will play, and most likely get hurt again. That way he can be listed as questionable or doubtful but play nest week.

Whatever Westbrook gives the Igs this year is gravy; if their success depends on him being healthy, they're not going to go far. Leonard Weaver, though? We'll see...

Since when did Andy ever care about having a guy who can run in his backfield?

Gocong being out is the bigger problem. McCoy can fill in for Westbrook.

Bob Brookover, left, is in his seventh year of covering the Philadelphia Eagles after spending 15 years covering the Philadelphia Phillies for the Inquirer and two other newspapers. 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. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

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.
