Westbrook Hurt
Brian Westbrook seems to be a question mark every week, but usually ends up playing. This week will be no different. Last night Westbrook left
the Redskin game with a concussion. After tests are run the doctors will make the decision on Westbrook’s availability for the week, this is not a decision for coaches or the player to make. Usually a concussion keeps a player out at least a week, but earlier this season TE Zach Miller of the Raiders played against the Giants after suffering a concussion only one week prior to the game.
The Giants have always had trouble covering Westbrook out of the backfield (most teams do), without him the Giants will certainly have an easier time covering the Eagle wideouts (possibly doubling Jackson) and pressuring McNabb. In past years it may have been even more costly for the Eagles but the Giants cannot rest on LeSean McCoy, an outstanding rookie back, still it would be a big loss for the Eagles.
