Vikings, Colts Might Already Be Out Of Play For Brian Westbrook

The Eagles have confirmed they intend to release RB Brian Westbrook at the onset of free agency on March 5th. With other veterans with health issues already on the market, Westbrook’s road back may have just gotten a little tougher.

According to a report, Westbrook needs to “play and practice” on grass, not turf because of knee injuries sustained over the years.

If this report is accurate, then you can rule out two possible suitors — the Colts and Vikings, who both play in domes.

Westbrook is also dealing with concussion issues so the knee isn’t the only impediment on his road back.

Don’t look for him to be a hot commodity in the beginning hours of free agency.
