Conflicting reports about Westbrook suiting up against Cowboys

It was looking less likely that Eagles running back Brian Westbrook would play against the Cowboys after it looked like he would play earlier in the week.

B-West would be held out Sunday Night as he recovers from a concussion he suffered two weeks ago against Washington, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter Sunday.

Westbrook was expected to suit up against Dallas as of Saturday, according to the Inquirer.

Basically nothing would be certain until the inactive list goes out around 7 p.m. Sunday but the ESPN report had to worry fantasy football owners.

If Westbrook doesn’t go the load will fall again on LeSean McCoy. The rookie back filled in nicely against the Giants last week carrying the ball 11 times for 82 yards and a score.

Besides “Shady,” fullback Leonard Weaver could also see a good amount of carries coming off his eight-rush, 75-yard and one-TD performance against the Giants.
