Some insiders are saying that Brian Westbrook's career is in jeopardy because of the risk of playing after a second concussion. The few facts to keep in mind are that Westbrook hasn't sustained a concussion until this year, but now he has two within 3 weeks; Westbrook is also looking at the long term effects of continuing to play after these injuries and risking lasting health issues. He has played 8 great years, but has been consistantly beat up and injury prone.
My prediction is that, doctor approved, he might return after a few games if the Eagles rack up a couple of victories and get them back in the playoff picture. If not, I don't know if he'll want to risk his long term health for a team that is not going to have a shot to win the big game. And if that's the case, it could be the end of a great career.
