Brian Westbrook has been going through tests today to see where he is in regards to last night’s concussion.
Andy Reid and the Eagles staff hope he will be available for action on Sunday afternoon against the Giants but no decision has been made. I can’t see them letting him play this week.
Westbrook was out cold on the field. He was laying their motionless for a short while. His brother was summoned and other players were asked to step away. That’s how serious they thought the injury was.
That’s serious business and nothing to play with. All of the players were standing around and you could see that they were apprehensive and very nervous.
I don’t think he will play this week unless there’s no question all that’s everything is safe.
“Right now, I’m counting on him being here. I know he wants to be out there. We just gotta make sure the tests come back [normal] and he’s OK to play,” Reid said.
Right now I would say he’s not going to play but we’ll have to wait and see.
If he can’t go, it puts a lot of pressure on young LeSean McCoy.
He’s going to have to pick up the blitzes, catch the ball out of the backfield and stay away from fumbling him when he runs with it.
