Has Eagles given up on Westbrook?

Eagles not sure when Brian Westbrook will return

Eagles coach Andy Reid said Brian Westbrook was held out to give rookie LeSean McCoy some first-team reps. Reid told reporters Westbrook had not suffered a setback. "He felt good during the week," Reid after last night's game. "He practiced during the week. It's a crazy deal . . . "I know this: If he has [headaches], I'm going to go more on the conversative side and take every precautionary measure possible. I'm not going to stick him out there, even if the tests are positive." As for Westbrook's prognosis for San Diego, Reid was noncommital: "We'll just see how he does this next week." -- Philadelphia Daily News

    A concussion is not something to play around with. You're right. Why risk permanent brain injury?

      agree. they have said from the beginning, if he has any symptoms he wasn`t playing.

    As much as I wanted to see him play, I'd rather he remain healthy the rest of his life and live to an old age. He was missed on the field but would be missed more by family and friends if something happened.
