PITTSBURGH(AP) -- Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook
has improved significantly since Sunday when he sustained a
second concussion in a three-week span, doctors said Wednesday.

Westbrook was evaluated Wednesday at the University of
Pittsburgh Medical Center and underwent a battery of
neuro-cognitive tests, according to a statement released jointly
by the Eagles and the hospital. He also had a comprehensive
physical and neurological exam that showed favorable results.

Dr. Joseph Maroon and Dr. Michael Collins, who are sports
concussion specialists, said they plan to repeat the tests in
two to three weeks.

Westbrook sustained a concussion on Oct. 26 in a game against
Washington. He sat out for two weeks and then was reinjured
Sunday during his return to the lineup at San Diego.

Westbrook won't play this Sunday at Chicago against the Bears,
and it's unknown if he'll return at all this season.
