Westbrook has 2 broken ribs

By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- All-Pro running back Brian Westbrook broke two ribs in the Eagles' 23-17 loss to Washington on Sunday, though he stayed in and finished the game.

Westbrook missed one game with an ankle injury, but it's too early to know if his latest injury will keep him out of Sunday's game at San Francisco.

"We just have to see," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "We have to see how it all works out and exactly the pain level there. Right now, he's very sore, so we'll see how things go over the next few days."

Westbrook had 84 total yards against the Redskins. He leads the Eagles with 194 yards rushing and has six touchdowns, including two receiving.
