While the Atlanta Falcons are worrying about injuries to key offensive players, the Philadelphia Eagles are having no better time. Running back Brian Westbrook is still suffering post-concussion headache and wide receiver DeSean Jackson is recovering from head injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons to battle for playoff spots in the NFC.
Sustaining two concussions in a three-week span, Westbrook needs more time to take care of his head before wearing back his Eagles jersey and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game, the third straight game to miss since being injured on Nov. 15. The former All-Pro running back saw concussion specialists this week in Pittsburgh again and will be re-examined in a week or two. What we expect is that he may increase his exercise regimen. But for playing game? Not likely in near future.
Jackson’s problem is also with the head. He sustained a head injury during last Sunday’s win over the Washington Redskins. But it seems that his condition is much better than Westbrook. At least Coach Andy Reid has not decided to rule him out for Sunday’s game, saying that the running back is making progress in recovering from the injury supposed to be concussion.
