Westbrook has concussion; Griffin back (updated)
Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Monday's game and caused a brief scare at FedEx Field when he remained on the turf for a few minutes without visible movement of his extremities. He was not expected to return to the game.
The injury occurred when Westbrook's helmet collided with Redskins linebacker London Fletcher's knee. Redskins cornerback Byron Westbrook, Brian's brother, came onto the field while Brian was being attended by the Eagles' training staff.
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb consoled Byron and Eagles Coach Andy Reid motioned for him to stay on the field. Byron was by Brian's side when Brian stood, minutes after the collision, and received applause from the FedEx Field crowd. Fletcher spoke to Brian Westbrook, too.
Westbrook walked off the field on his power. The Pro Bowl running back is a Washington native who attended DeMatha Catholic.

Cornelius Griffin has a sprained elbow, the Redskins report via Twitter, but has returned.

what the hell is jason thinking on that play? he has about 10 yards of real estate in front of him and he's still thinking of throwing the ball while SCRAMBLING TO THE LEFT SIDE? Right handed QBs cannot do that. they should only throw on the run when they're running right. what a dumbass. and this was on a 1st down too. goodness.

The Eagles already have 123 yards of offense in 7 minutes. What is the over/under on the skins gaining that many yards in the first half?
