After two days of resting his aching left knee, Eagles RB Brian Westbrook participated in a portion of practice Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Cardinals. Fully expect Westbrook to be on the field and once again be QB Donovan McNabb‘s main offensive option.

“I think he feels good,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said of Westbrook. “He’s really practiced well really down the stretch here. I think he’s feeling pretty good.”

Westbrook backed his coach, saying his knee “feels good” and that it’s in better shape than it was last week.

G Shawn Andrews also practiced a bit Friday, but he has been deemed out for the game. Everyone else on the Eagles’ injury report is listed as probable, meaning they’ll most likely play.

Eagles’ injury report
OUT: G Shawn Andrews (back).
PROBABLE: DE Victor Abiamiri (foot), WR Jason Avant (knee), S Brian Dawkins (back), RB Dan Klecko (shoulder), OT Jon Runyan (knee), RB Brian Westbrook (knee).

The Cardinals’ injury report hasn’t been posted yet, so check NFL.com later for an update.
