Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian
Westbrook is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
He was listed as questionable on the injury report following Friday's practice
session, but Westbrook will miss his second consecutive game as he recovers
from concussion-related symptoms.
Rookie LeSean McCoy will start in his place.
Westbrook was hurt in a win over the Redskins on October 26 and sat out last
Sunday when the Eagles defeated the Giants. He returned to the practice field
this week, although he didn't participate Friday.
Westbrook, 30, also sat out Week 3 against Kansas City with an ankle
injury. He has scored two touchdowns while amassing just 197 yards on the
ground and 130 through the air on 17 catches through five games this year.
Also inactive for Philadelphia are wide receiver Kevin Curtis (knee) and
starting linebacker Chris Gocong (hamstring, quadriceps).
