News Articles > Brian Westbrook expected to play Sunday
Published Wed Nov 4 3:53:46 p.m. ET 2009
(FFToolbox) The Philadelphia Eagles certainly didn't need the services of running back Brian Westbrook as they dismantled the New York Giants last Sunday. This Sunday the Eagles face another NFC rival, the Dallas Cowboys, and Westbrook is reportedly "good to go" for that showdown. Westbrook sat out the Giants game due to a concussion that he suffered against Washington in week 7. But Westbrook practiced fully on Wednesday and head coach Andy Reid said that Westbrook should play, barring any setbacks in his recovery. Westbrook called the concussion "a fluke thing," and said that while he worries about the effects of such an injury many years in the future, he can't be thinking about it when he takes the field against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Rookie LeSean McCoy ran for 82 yards and a touchdown on just 11 carries in Westbrook's absence last week and will continue to get about 5-10 touches per game, even with Westbrook back. But with Westbrook apparently healthy, you should have faith in him this week. The Cowboys are solid against the run, but we all know that Westbrook is multidimensional and he has fabulous numbers against Dallas in his career. I think he's fine as a No. 2 RB this week.
