Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook's status for Sunday's primetime game against NFC East-rival Dallas remains unclear.

He was listed as questionable on the injury report following Friday's practice session, but early reports Sunday indicated that the multi-purpose threat will miss his second consecutive game with a concussion.

Westbrook was hurt in a win over the Redskins on October 26 and sat out last Sunday when the Eagles defeated the Giants. He returned to the practice field this week, although he didn't participate Friday.

Westbrook, 30, also sat out Week 3 against Kansas City with an ankle injury. He has scored two touchdowns while amassing just 197 yards on the ground and 130 through the air on 17 catches through five games this year.

Rookie LeSean McCoy will likely start in Westbrook's place.
