Daily Haze: Brian Westbrook Cleared To Play

It is Dallas week in Philadelphia, and all hands are on deck.

After missing last weekend's game because of a head injury he suffered two weeks ago, Brian Westbrook has been cleared to play by the Eagles medical staff for this weekend's game against the Cowboys. LeSean McCoy started in Westbrook's stead last weekend.

Both Westbrook and McCoy should get a fair amount of work this weekend. Westy will resume the starting role if he is, indeed, active on gameday. All signs point to him playing this weekend and the matchup is decent for fantasy owners. Philly usually brings it against Dallas.

Meanwhile, McCoy's performance in Westbrook's stead—although it took a late 66-yard touchdown run to salvage any fantasy value—warrants more playing time for the rookie going forward. If for no other reason, using a running-back-by-committee in Philadelphia more often could keep some hits off Westbrook.
