News and Notes
Nov 20 RB Brian Westbrook is back with the team and recovering from two concussions, and will not play at least this week and next. "Right now nothing for this week, we're backing off this week just letting him rest," said coach Andy Reid. "This is on the doctor's orders there: back off, let him rest, that's the plan the doctor had for him. Next week he can start going to meetings and some things. We'll see how he feels as he goes."

Nov 18 Westbrook's (concussion) symptoms have improved significantly over the last three days, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Recommendation: Concussion specialists that Westbrook has been visiting with in Pittsburgh released a statement indicating that they're optimistic about a full recovery for Westbrook. Despite the good news, we wouldn't be all that surprised if he missed another couple of weeks while the Eagles carefully monitor his health to ensure that everything is OK before he starts taking contact again. LeSean McCoy will take over at running back until Westbrook is cleared to come back.

Nov 17 Westbrook will visit two concussion specialists in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Westbrook sustained his second concussion in three weeks during Philadelphia's 31-23 loss at San Diego on Sunday. The 30-year-old former All-Pro suffered his first career concussion on Oct. 26 against Washington.

Advice: Westbrook first will consult with neuropsychologist Mark R. Lovell, head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder says in a statement. After that visit, Westbrook and Lovell will meet with neurosurgeon Joseph Maroon. will return, if at all. "Football right now for Brian Westbrook is not the important thing," Reid said Monday.
