The Philadelphia Inquirer reports: Doctors examining Eagles running back Brian Westbrook said his concussion symptoms had improved significantly over the last three days, according to a statement issued by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
"We are very encouraged by Brian's progress, we believe that he has an excellent prognosis, and we expect a full recovery," read a statement attributed to Drs. Joseph Maroon and Michael Collins. "We developed a comprehensive physical rehab plan for Brian, and we will repeat the detailed testing in the next two to three weeks."
In Sunday's loss in San Diego, Westbrook suffered his second concussion in 20 days when he was tackled after a third-quarter screen pass.
Westbrook already has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bears at Soldier Field.
