While we wait to find out the exact status of Brian Westbrook for Sunday’s huge game against the Giants, here’s what head coach Andy Reid was saying about the concussion following Monday night’s win over the Redskins:
Andy Reid Says Westbrook ‘Feeling Pretty Good’
“We saw the knee hit the head,” Reid said at his postgame news conference. “I think he’s going to be all right. DeSean [Jackson] has a foot sprain. He’s going to be all right. He came back and played.
“We have to see how Westbrook does with the concussion. He’s feeling pretty good right now. … I know he was looking forward to this game here, what we had planned for him,” Reid said of Westbrook, whose brother Byron is a cornerback for the Redskins.
Reid expressed confidence in rookie running back LeSean McCoy, if Westbrook can’t play Sunday against the Giants.
As is protocol in the NFL, we can certainly expect Westbrook to be rushed back into the line-up before his brain has had proper time to heal. Don’t worry — the side effects won’t kick in for at least another 10 years.
