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 said he is feeling no effects from the concussion that forced him to miss last week's 40-17 win over the New York Giants.

Westbrook was knocked unconscious when he was hit in the head by a knee a week earlier in a win over Washington.

Eagles coach Andy Reid said Westbrook should be "good to go" against the Cowboys, who are tied with Philadelphia for first place in the NFC East.
