Jackson may not play in Week 13
2009-11-30 FanballThe News Updating an earlier report, DeSean Jackson may or may not play in Week 13 because of his concussion, according to ESPN. Andy Reid said that Jackson will "continue to be tested and continue to go through the process." Our View With the Brian Westbrook situation at the forefront of their minds, Jackson would likely have to show a massive level of improvement this week to see the field. If he does miss the game, look for Jeremy Maclin to see an uptick in looks.

Our View He also lost a fumble, however. Regardless, he looks like a more than capable fill-in for Westbrook in both fantasy and real life.

Westbrook Likely Out Week 9
2009-11-08 FFTodayIn an NFC East divisional showdown between Philadelphia and Dallas, Eagles running back Brian Westbrook is not expected to play, according to two league sources. Westbrook suffered a concussion two weeks ago against the Washington Redskins. Many assumed that, after missing last week's game, Westbrook would play Sunday night against the Cowboys even though he was listed as questionable. But to be safe, Eagles coach Andy Reid now is expected to rest Westbrook at least another week to recuperate from a severe blow to the head. Without Westbrook, rookie second-round pick LeSean McCoy once again would start at running back. (ESPN)

Westbrook Listed As Questionable
2009-11-07 FFTodayThere's still an air of uncertainty about whether or not Brian Westbrook will play Sunday night against the Cowboys. The Eagles' running back was withheld from practice Friday after taking most of the first-team reps on Wednesday and Thursday and is listed on the team's official report as "questionable" - a 50 percent chance to play, in NFL jargon. But coach Andy Reid seemed to suggest that Westbrook would play and was only held out of practice because of the recent workload. "He's had two hard days of work and, really, the young kid [LeSean McCoy] hasn't gotten a ton of reps," Reid said. "Like I've done on some other Fridays, I kept Brian out." The uncertainty lies in the injury report. The fact that he's still on the report almost two weeks after sustaining a concussion against the Redskins shows that, at very least, the head injuury remains somewhat concerning to the coaches.

Weaver saw increased playing time Week 8
2009-11-03 KFFLPaul Domowitch, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles FB Leonard Weaver saw increased playing time in Week 8 because of the absence of RB Brian Westbrook (concussion). Weaver saw most of the time in one-back sets because he was a better pass blocker than RB LeSean McCoy. He also got eight carries for a career high 75 yards during the game. When Westbrook returns to the lineup, Weaver likely will return to his job as the lead blocker.

Westbrook Not Being Ruled Out Yet
2009-10-28 FFTodayPhiladelphia Eagles HC Andy Reid said on Tuesday that running back Brian Westbrook is undergoing tests for the concussion he incurred during Monday night's win over the Redskins. Westbrook will not be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Reid. In fact, Reid is "counting on that he'll be there, but we'll see how the tests go." Westbrook was injured on a 5-yard run midway through the first quarter of the game. He took a handoff up the middle and as he was being tackled the knee of Redskins linebacker London Fletcher clocked Westbrook in the head and knocked him unconscious. Westbrook laid on the field for several minutes before walking under his own power to the locker room. He joined his teammates on the sidelines in street clothes in the second half. Westbrook was replaced in the lineup by rookie LeSean McCoy, who had 14 carries for 37 yards. (philadelphiaeagles.com)
