Westbrook and Reggie Brown out for Sunday

Posted Oct. 10 at 10:27 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled both Brian Westbrook (ribs) and Reggie Brown (groin) out of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

To some degree it's good news for Westbrook owners; no worries about him being a "gametime decision." It's better news, of course, for Correll Buckhalter owners, and Buckhalter could do pretty well against a 23rd-ranked 49ers run defense.

The Brown news is a bit of surprise; he was healthy last week. He was limited in practice on Wednesday then held out entirely on Thursday. Kevin Curtis has been practicing fully; he may have a larger role than the team originally planned. (Although he's not even certain to be active; the team wants to bring him back slowly.) Hank Baskett will likely start in Brown's place, as he did earlier in the year, while DeSean Jackson is the clear No. 1 wideout this week.
