Westbrook appeared sharp, quick and strong

Aug 05, 2009

Eagles RB Brian Westbrook, coming off a pair of offseason surgeries, appeared sharp and quick and strong in agility drills he ran under the watchful eye of head coach Andy Reid after practice.

Even though Reid hinted Westbrook probably won't be able to practice until at least the middle of this month, Westbrook's public rehab work over the last week should serve as a clear indication that if the Eagles would face the New York Giants in a playoff game today, Westbrook would be ready not only to play but to take the ball as often as required.

Everything we see from this guy has been very encouraging, which ironically means fans here at Lehigh University will have less of a chance of seeing him in action before the Eagles depart Aug. 12.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
