Oct 27, 2009

Eagles RB Brian Westbrook, who left the game with a concussion in the first quarter, was knocked unconscious when he took an inadvertent knee to the head from linebacker London Fletcher as he was being tackled on a 5-yard gain. He lay motionless on the turf for several minutes while players from both teams knelt in prayer, until finally being helped to his feet. He was able to walk off on his own.

Reid expects him to recover fully, perhaps even in time for the Eagles' home game against the New York Giants next Sunday.

''He felt pretty good on the sideline,'' Reid said.

Jackson later was taken for X-rays on his foot shortly after catching the touchdown pass that gave the Eagles a 27-7 advantage with 1:50 remaining in the second quarter. However, they were negative, and he was back on the field in the second half.

Commanders place Austin Ekeler on injured reserve

The Commanders placed running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

Ekeler took a nasty hit on a late kickoff return Sunday against the Cowboys. He suffered his second concussion of the season. Ekeler will miss at least four games and Washington still has their bye coming in Week 14, so the earliest Ekeler can return would be Week 18 against the Cowboys, meaning most fantasy leagues will be finished by the time Ekeler comes back. The Commanders will have Brian Robinson available Sunday after he was able to practice this week following his ankle injury Sunday.

Chargers placing J.K. Dobbins (knee) in injured reserve

The Chargers are placing running back J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve with an MCL sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins suffered the injury during Monday night’s loss to the Ravens. This is more of a cautionary move from the Chargers to make sure he is healthy for the stretch run and potentially the playoffs. Dobbins will now miss at least the next four games against the Falcons, Chiefs, Buccaneers and Broncos. Gus Edwards is in line to see a majority of the work in Dobbins’ absence. He carried nine times against the Ravens.
