Westy is questionable

[IRON CHEF]

This should be something to watch this week, Levens and maybe even Mahe may make nice pickups.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia running back Brian Westbrook, who left Sunday's 34-31 overtime win in Cleveland with a bruised sternum, is questionable for this week's game against Baltimore.

"He'll struggle here for a couple of days," Eagles head coach Andy Reid said Monday at his weekly news conference. "We'll see how he does as time goes on."

If Westbrook -- the Eagles' leading rusher -- can't play, look for Dorsey Levens and Reno Mahe to replace him against the Ravens.

Westbrook ran for 43 yards on 13 carries before leaving the game in the third quarter against Cleveland. He also caught three passes for 17 yards.

In six games for Philadelphia (6-0), the three-year veteran has run for 458 yards and one touchdown on 90 carries and accumulated 249 receiving yards on 31 catches.

Westbrook, who scored 13 touchdowns last season, missed the 2003 playoffs after suffering a torn triceps tendon in his left arm in the season finale against Washington.

i would bet he plays limited -- even if he is ok. I think the eagles can beat the ravens, or IF they beat them, it will certainly be with passing. And we don't need ray lewis decapitating him. that would be too pyhrric. better to have him ready for the big game at pittsburgh I think.

I didn't consider who they are playing this week....

A likely RBBC against Baltimore? Not good....

I wanna see this game so I could watch RayRay hunt down TO.

this sounds more wrong than I mean. But I really think the defense and the passing game will be what wins this for the eagles. we shall see though. but, I think TO will back up everything. he has so far.

Unless Baltimore finds some semblence of a passing game, Eagles could feasible rest Westbrook this week and throw a TD or with 2-3 FGs interspersed and let their defense pick apart Boller.
