Westbrook uncertain for Sunday

Eagles running back Brian Westbrook said that when he warmed up at Soldier Field Sunday, he couldn't maneuver quite well enough to play in the Eagles' loss to the Bears. Coach Andy Reid said that if Westbrook had to practice Monday, he couldn't have. Reid said he wasn't sure about Westbrook's status for the next time the Eagles really do practice, on Wednesday. This would seem to indicate it isn't a given that Westbrook will play Sunday at home against the Redskins.

No Westbrook, no win. Eagles offense sputters badly without him.

Very unfortunate for the eagles...lts of plays in the game against the bears woulda been completed had he been available. just bad karma........hard to keep him & mcnabb on the field for a stretch of games

i would not count the Eagles out just yet. The Redskins tried to give the game away to the Cowboys last week, they just would not take it...The Eagles are a better team, even with out Westbrook...

Westbrook out on offense is like Dawkins out on defense. They are the crucial pieces of the puzzle in Philly.

The eagles are not the same team without him. Probably, the single most important player, in regard to a teams success in the leauge.

league..sorry

He's the engine that makes the eagles run and there just not the same football team without him. That being said I hope he plays not because im an eagles fan but because hes my Fantasy Football Rb.

Yeah the Cowboys outcoached themselves. Too much thinking going on in the headset-holders not enough action.

But I wouldn't count the Eagles out either. Donovan McNabb is still healthy.

I know my birds and they will be ready Sunday and I just want better playcalling in the red zone. I want the defense to go hard for 4 quarters.

westbrook needs to play, other wise their isn't going to be much offense.

October 1, 2008  11:17 AM ET

We're talkin' about....PRACTICE....not a game, not a game....we're talkin' about PRACTICE!

October 1, 2008  11:44 AM ET

Take another week off Westbrook.....you need to be there at the
end of the season, and not in the game against the skins as they
need to go for 4 in a row............................

October 1, 2008  12:13 PM ET

Probably told him to go lay low somewhere, like a strip club

Westbrook uncertain for Sunday.

that will certainly make it easier on my Skins D....even if he plays, it sounds like he wouldn't be 100% anyway and that would make him more like just any other player rather than a threat.

I need some love....

Oh.... wait.... my loving matey just arrived home!!!

Good night!!!!

Buckhalter's a fine backup. This isn't the Bears D that Philly's playing this week. I still expect the Iggles to beat the Skins. They have to. 2 division losses at this point would be pretty tough to overcome.
