Westbrook will play; Andrews out

Brian Westbrook practiced on a limited basis Friday and expects to play in Sunday’s NFC championship game against Arizona.

Westbrook had sat out practice the previous two days after aggravating his knee injury against the new York Giants.

“It just feels good right now,” Westbrook said. “I don’t worry about it at all. My knee’s fine.”

Westbrook has carried the ball 38 times for just 74 yards this postseason. He has been nursing a chronically swollen knee in addition to the lingering high ankle sprain he suffered earlier in the season.

Right tackle Jon Runyan and fullback Dan Klecko are also listed a sproblie, while former All-Pro guard Shawn Andrews will remain on the sidelines.
