Eagles running back Brian Westbrook will be inactive in tonight’s contest against the Dallas Cowboys. This is a big reversal from earlier in the week when Andy Reid said Westbrook was improving enough to start this week.

With Westbrook out, the workload will go to rookie LeSean McCoy, who has been impressive in two starts this season.  Leonard Weaver, who had a long touchdown run last week, will also see a larger role.

Not having Westbrook will be a big blow as the Eagles are facing a Cowboys team that has won three straight and is tied for first in the NCF East at 5-2.

Westbrook suffered a concussion two weeks ago in the Eagles 27-17 win over the Washington Redskins.
