Running back Brian Westbrook's return to the Philadelphia Eagles' lineup may be short-lived.

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Westbrook, who was back in the lineup after sitting out last week against Chicago with an ankle injury, broke two ribs on the eighth play of the Eagles' 23-17 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Despite the injury, Westbrook carried the ball 12 times for 33 yards and caught six passes for 51 yards in the game.

Reid would not speculate about Westbrook's availability for the Eagles' game at San Francisco this weekend.

"We'll see how it works out for him," Reid said.
