Eagles' top back expects to return

Eagles running back Brian Westbrook says he will be back on the field for Sunday's game against Dallas following a concussion that forced him to miss a game.

Westbrook returned to practice Wednesday. He says he is feeling no effects from the concussion that forced him to miss last week's 40-17 win over the New York Giants.

Coach Andy Reid said Westbrook should be "good to go."

PANTHERS: Quarterback Jake Delhomme has recovered from a chest injury, but the team is without a healthy fullback ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Brad Hoover sprained his right ankle in the third quarter Sunday and was carted off the field. His backup, Tony Fiammetta , later left with a concussion.

LIONS: Quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson were limited in practice, both with right knee injures.

Coach Jim Schwartz said Johnson likely will see more practice time today and Friday, but his availability for Sunday's game at Seattle will be a game-time decision.

SEAHAWKS: Matt Hasselbeck watched most of practice to rest his broken ribs, though the Seahawks expect the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback to start Sunday against Detroit.

CARDINALS: Wide receiver Anquan Boldin and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett sat out practice but said they expect to play Sunday at Chicago.

RAIDERS: Coach Tom Cable says he has spoken with Oakland owner Al Davis about allegations that Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women.

Cable said his job status was not discussed and he plans to coach the rest of the season.

STUDY: An engineering firm hired by Texas A&M University to study its athletic complex said the tentlike facility wasn't built to withstand the 90 mph winds as prescribed by the building code.

The flawed design is similar to that of the collapsed Dallas Cowboys' practice facility.
