[Giants] Giants Preparing For Eagles RB Brian Westbrook

The New York Giants are preparing for a game Sunday against the Eagles as if Brian Westbrook will play, even though it seems unlikely the star running back will be able to return from the concussion he suffered Monday night at FedEx Field. "You prepare for Westbrook," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said during a conference call yesterday. "He's a guy they rely on tremendously, and in key situations in the game you have a good thought that he's going to get the ball. So you prepare for Westbrook." If Westbrook cannot play, the Eagles will turn to rookie LeSean McCoy to handle the majority of the work at running back. "I expect him to play," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "I don't know the severity of the injury or anything like that. I know Brian pretty well, and if he can go he definitely is going to be out there. He's played with multiple injuries before. I think this is one of the more important games of the season, so if he can be out there, I expect him to be out there."
