Brian Westbrook has been cleared to play this weekend after missing five weeks due to a concussion. Eagles' team doctors have cleared Westbrook to play in what will most likely be a limited role, despite the inevitability of him sustaining a new injury.
"The thing with Brian is that he is always hurt," said one member of the team's medical staff. "But since he appears ready, there is nothing more we can do to hold him out. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Brian Westbrook is healthy."
With Westbrook's injury history, the team took a very conservative approach, but has finally cleared him to play.
"The long term health of the athlete should always be first and foremost. But now that he's finally healthy and symptom free, we've cleared him to play. Unfortunately for him, that most likely means he'll suffer a new injury. After all he IS Brian Westbrook."
