All reports are saying that Westbrook has suffered a concussion. This is bad news alone but take into account that he suffered one 2 weeks ago and you get a crap load of problems. Any time you have a brain injury you need to be worried. Normally people come back from a concussion a few weeks later but some very minor damage may be permanent. Now that Westbrook has suffered a 2nd concussion in 3 weeks that leads me to worry if (1) he wasn't ready to return and somehow managed to get back on the field like any athlete would or (2) his first concussion was alot worse than everyone thought and this 2nd one just made it alot worse. And another thing about concussions is that once you have had one you are more susceptible to having another one...

Now that it may be a possibility that Westbrook will be out for an extended amount of time(or even the rest of the season as Matt Mosley of espn.com thinks... here is the link.) we need to look at the RB situation we have minus Westbrook..

First up is LeSean McCoy(pictured below)

McCoy has been doing pretty well so far this season with a limited role. He has 353 rushing yards on 86 carries with an average of 4.1 YPC and 2TD's. He also has another 181 yards on 23 rec, with a 7.9 average. Those are some pretty solid numbers for a pass happy team while playing a small role. Now compare that to Westbrook's 225 rushing yards on 49 carries with only 1TD and an average of 4.8 yards, and his additional 156 rec yards on 19 catches and another TD. In pretty much half of the time McCoy has out done Westbrook. With McCoy getting better and better every day and those few glimpses of we see of Westbrook in him the future looks bright.

Leonard Weaver is next on this list even though he is a fullback. We all saw his ability during the Giants game and have really seen what he can do as a blocker throughout the season. Now all we need to do is see if he can play tailback a bit more than usual. I personally think that Weaver can play RB for us and would be a great compliment to McCoy as he grows. Weaver also helps out due to his ability to do pretty much what Westy can in the passing game, he can block, catch and bust big plays out of nowhere. Although he is a fullback he will see an increased role if Westbrook's out for a while.

Finally we get to Eldra Buckley. This kid showed some promise in the preseason as a RB. He is a between the tackles kinda guy and could be used in packages with Weaver to convert those pesky 3rd/4th and short situations. If I remember correctly He did excel in those 3rd and 1's during the preseason. He isn't anywhere near the level of McCoy, Westy and Weaver but he could really do well in a limited role that takes advantage of his abilities.
