Watch Out Cardinals, Brian Westbrook's Knee is Feeling Good

ESPN made big news out of Sal Paolantonio's report earlier in the week that Brian Westbrook reinjured his knee in the Eagles win over the Giants at the Meadowlands, but as our own Ryan Wilson surmised, the tweak was just another day at the office for No. 36. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the ESPN report later changed the word "reinjured" to "tweaked."

Westbrook participated in practice on Friday at the NovaCare complex in South Philadelphia before flying to Arizona later in the day and said the knee "feels good," even better than it did last week. This could be bad news for Cardinals fans.

As far as the ESPN report, Westbrook seems to think it was blown out of proportion.

"My knee's fine," he said. "I think it hasn't been said, but a lot of times throughout games when you have injuries, you're going to tweak your injury no matter what that injury is. This wasn't the only game that I tweaked my knee, but it happens throughout football games."

As John Madden would say, "that's football."

A healthy Brian Westbrook is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL. He's a threat to break a big play every time he touches the ball, but he also creates space for other guys to make plays by forcing opposing defenses to keep their eyes on him at all times.

Donovan McNabb runs the show in Philly but Brian Westbrook makes the magic happen. With the knee feeling good, we could see some on Sunday.
