Everything Eagles Green

Good news out of Eagles practice today as running back Brian Westbrook returned to the practice field for the Eagles.

He had missed Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears with an ankle injury and had missed practice all of last week and the start of this week.

Aside from Westbrook there were other injured players either not participating or participating for the first time this week in practice.

L.J. Smith returned to practice, he had been bothered by back problems and missed Sunday’s game. Shawn Andrews still sat out of practice with a back problem. Dan Klecko was limited in practice today with a hand injury and defensive back Asante Samuel was also limited with a chest injury.

The best sign of them all was that Westbrook was back. He isn’t 100 percent healthy yet but it is a great sign that he is back on the football field working out with the team.

The rest of the week should determine how the Eagles will stake up against the Redskins this Sunday. If they can get Smith and Westbrook back on the field and McNabb’s chest to stop hurting then their red zone offense shouldn’t be as ugly as it was against the Bears.

They went 1 for 4 against the Bears.
