The Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been cleared to return to practice after sustaining two concussions within three weeks from Oct. 26 to Nov. 15, but it is not likely that he will be ready to play in his Eagles jersey this weekend against the New York Giants.
The 30-year-old former All-Pro running back sustained his first career concussion when he hit his head on a defender’s knee during a Monday night win over the Washington Redskins. Sitting out two games because of the concussion, he returned to play with the team against the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 15 but sustained another concussion when he got sandwiched between a blocker and a tackler on a screen play.
Eagles Coach Andy Reid said the team will gradually get Westbrook back, and according to the running back himself, all the signs show that he will very likely to be able to play before the end of the season.
