Brian Westbrook Reportedly Out Sunday

All indications out of Philadelphia this week were that running back Brian Westbrook would play on Sunday night against Dallas, a little less than two weeks after suffering a Grade 3 concussion. The situation appears to have changed, though.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Westbrook will not play against the Cowboys so he can have another week to recover from his rather serious head injury.

Westbrook was hurt in the Eagles' Week 7 Monday night win at Washington, when he slammed his head into Redskins linebacker London Fletcher's knee on a running play. Westbrook lost consciousness and said later that he had no memory of the play.

He did participate in Eagles practice this week, but sat out Friday in what was dubbed a precautionary decision.

If Westbrook's out of the lineup, the Eagles will once again turn to rookie LeSean McCoy to carry the load. That would out fine for Philadelphia last week -- McCoy rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown, fullback Leonard Weaver pitched in 75 yards rushing and a TD, and the Eagles routed the Giants, 40-17.

Philadelphia plays at San Diego in Week 10.
