The Facts:
The rib injury that forced Westbrook out of Sunday's game is actually an abdominal strain, says HC Andy Reid. In fact, according to the coach, the injury was not even the result of a hit to the team's do-it-all back. "It was from a move that he made," Reid said Monday in his day-after game press conference. "Kind of a freak thing, it popped on him." Reported by PhiladelphiaEagles.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Westbrook left Sunday's game in the third quarter after piling up a career-high 221 yards of total offense. X-rays were negative. Additional scans Monday revealed no broken parts. Reid said Westbrook is "pretty sore" and that the next couple days will ultimately determine if the running back practices with his teammates Wednesday when the team begins its preparations for Sunday night's game against the Giants.
