Brian Westbrook Unlikely to Play? Hey KFFL get your facts straight (1 Viewer)

Just read this on kffl.com

Eagles | Westbrook limited in practice Wednesday

Wed, 5 Nov 2008 16:29:21 -0800

Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 5, and he appears unlikely to play in Week 10.

Is this report for real?

Where the heck does this come from. I can't see any direct reports supporting this yet. Anyone heard anything?

UPDATE:

I decided to try and email Les Bowen directly and he responded almost immediately.

My question. KFFL.com is quoting you as saying Brian Westbrook is unlikely to play due to his knee injury. Is this true?



His response - No, no no. Likely to play.

I'm betting it's a typo.

FWIW (nothing) Fanball speculates this is a precautionary move.

If this were a serious injury or setback stemming from last week's game why would he practice at all on Wednesday? I guess the only way I see this as being true is if something happened at practice today which then caused him to be limited.

I'm hoping so. The way it is being reported seems suspicious.

That is my line of thinking but I haven't heard anything yet and I can't see what Kffl is reporting on yet.

I see nothing on the web site that the original KFFL link had at all about Westbrook. There aren't any stories with comments from the reporter/writer either, so I'm wondering where they even got this blurb from.

FWIW - here is what Rotoworld says on it.....

Brian Westbrook-RB- Eagles Nov. 5 - 3:53 pm et Brian Westbrook (knee) was limited in Eagles practice Wednesday.The Eagles could just be getting Westbrook some desired early-week rest. He had 26 touches last Sunday against the Seahawks, totaling 96 yards. Westbrook is not listed on the injury report with his previous ribs issue.Source: philadelphiaeagles.com

Just another reason why I try to avoid the feeds from Rotoworld and KFFL, as people read the comments and panic when who knows where they are comming up with both the "news," what it means, and what they are speculating.

grrrrr....

Nice typo jackass!

Westbrook vs. the first place Giants?

He'll play if he has to wrap himself in duct tape.

Thank Les Bowen. It was very nice of him to respond so quickly.BTW, KFFL has now corrected their blog to say he is still likely to play. I wonder if they read this or if Les Bowen contacted them
