I doubt he makes it to the third quarter.

maybe if they don't run the ball before then

jackson is out?

Yahoo's News & Notes says Jackson feels good enough to return punts along with his normal WR duties. Westbrook is out

If there's anyone available out there that can contribute, they should really put Westbrook on IR and get that guy.

haha, i love it when they talk.

Westbrook is actually pretty smart. He's not your normal idiot jock.

Let's not kid ourselves. He may be more well spoken or even more intelligent than some/most professional athletes. But calling him 'pretty smart' is ridiculous.

Of course having said that, I applaud his decision to consider his future and take his concussions seriously. Especially since he was cooked anyway.

Not smart? But he's a college graduate, right?

the little guy might not appreciate you talking about him like that.

but yeah, a degree is not a sign of intelligence, it just means that you went to school 4+ yrs longer than i did. and when it comes to big time college athletes getting their degree, it's basically about the same as giving a 5 yr old a gold star in finger painting.

you rarely hear about an athlete getting kicked off the team due to grades.. and its not because their so smart. their definitely taken care of academically if their wanted on the team.

QuoteMaclin out, Westbrook could return for Eagles
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 14, 2009 3:42 PM ET
Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will miss 1-2 weeks of action with a foot injury, but the Philadelphia could get a bigger part of the offense back in the lineup.

The Delaware County Times writes that the Eagles "quietly confirmed" they expect Brian Westbrook to return to action against the 49ers. "Only a medical setback" would prevent Westbrook from playing, according the report.

Considering all of the concern about Westbrook, we're a little surprised about the news. But this is hardly the first time a player has returned after two concussions in one season.

Andy Reid is also optimistic Kevin Curtis will play Sunday for the first time since Week Two.

Hope Westbrook can be effective and stay healthy through the playoffs, or at least get hurt and come back again in time for playoffs.

I'm not as big on Shady as a lot of people. I think he should do fine as long as he can learn to hold onto the ball and maybe have a few special games, but I don't see him as probowl potential.

What's up with Vick's injury status? Is it just a thigh bruise or hopefully something that's season ending? I know he had one good game this year (against Atlanta), but it's not like the Eagles can always get the plays in on time even when they're not switching QBs in and out. That wasted timeout yesterday because of the QB switch burned my britches

Sgt PSN · December 21, 2009, 01:07:10 PM

i think every play they ran with vick yesterday annoyed me. even the first one when they had mcnabb at qb and vick in motion. wtf is that stupid ish?

i really do wish the guy well with his attempt to get another starting job in the nfl but it's seriously time to quit tinkering with it. it's been 14 weeks now and it produced 1 good game from vick and that's because the eagles were just all over atlanta that day. the next 2 games will determine who wins the division and whether or not the eagles get a home playoff game. hell, with the vikings loss yesterday the eagles could possibly even jump up to the #2 seed in the nfc so there's too much on the line at this point to keep trying this mickey mouse crap all the time.
