NFL Notes: Westbrook expects to play against Dallas

Westbrook expects to play against Dallas

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles running back Brian Westbrook said yesterday 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 yesterday. 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.

Colts lose Hagler

INDIANAPOLIS -- The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts have lost starting linebacker Tyjuan Hagler for the rest of the season with a ruptured biceps. Coach Jim Caldwell said Hagler was placed on injured reserve.

Second-year linebacker Philip Wheeler and undrafted rookie Ramon Humber are expected to replace Hagler. Indy also will promote rookie linebacker Cody Glenn to the active roster from the practice squad.

Hagler was fourth on the Colts with 36 tackles.

Chiefs' Page on IR

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jarrad Page, a three-year starter at free safety, has been placed on injured reserve by the Kansas City Chiefs. Page was not at practice Monday and coach Todd Haley said he had been injured during practice last Thursday.

The Chiefs also said they had signed free agent cornerback Travis Daniels. He attended training camp with the Chiefs this year but was released before the season.

• Coach Tom Cable said he has spoken with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis about allegations that Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women. "What we talked about is between us and we'll keep it that way," he said.

Cable said his job status was not discussed. Cable said he plans to coach the team for the rest of the season.

• An engineering firm hired by Texas A&M University to study its athletic complex says the tentlike facility wasn't built to withstand the 90 mph winds as prescribed by the building code. The analysis by Haynes Whaley Associates of Houston suggests that the McFerrin Athletic Center was built according to a flawed design. That design is similar to that of the collapsed Dallas Cowboys' practice facility.

Both were built by Summit Structures LLC of Allentown, Pa.

The Cowboys' facility collapsed in a wind storm May 2, paralyzing a member of the team's scouting department from the waist down and injuring 11 others. -- From Wire Reports
