Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbooks) - The Philadelphia Eagles expect to get running back Brian Westbrook and wide receiver Kevin Curtis back on the field for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Andy Reid said at a press conference on Wednesday that both players should be ready to go for Sunday. Westbrook missed Philadelphia's 40-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers on October 12 with fractured ribs. The Pro Bowl running back suffered the injury in the Eagles' 23-17 loss to Washington on October 5. The Eagles are coming off a bye, and Westbrook returned to practice on Wednesday. In four games this season for the 3-3 Eagles, Westbrook has run for 194 yards and four touchdowns on 54 carries. He also has 14 catches for 97 yards and two scores. Curtis has yet to play this season after undergoing surgery in August for a sports hernia. Reid said Wednesday that Curtis will probably make his season debut against the Falcons. Curtis had 77 receptions for 1,110 yards and six touchdowns last season for the Eagles, his first campaign with the club. Eagles wideout Reggie Brown, meanwhile, participated in practice on a limited basis as he recovers from a groin injury that kept him out of the game in San Francisco. Brown has 10 catches for 163 yards in three games this season for the Eagles, and has missed time with a hamstring injury as well. |
