Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook didn't practice on Wednesday, but remains likely to play Sunday against the New York Giants in the NFC divisional playoffs, according to a report on ESPN.com.

Westbrook is nursing a sprained ankle and may have limited participation the rest of the week, according to the report. He'll focus on weightlifting, stretching and running in a pool in a effort to stay in game shape.

"The good thing is that I didn't tweak anything against the Vikings," Westbrook told ESPN.com. "I took a pounding on the turf but I didn't re-injure anything so I'm not starting from in a hole this week."

Westbrook will reportedly take some anti-inflammatory medication on Saturday night and Sunday morning to prepare for the game.

During the regular season, Westbrook rushed for 936 yards and had an additional 402 receiving in 14 games. He also scored 14 total touchdowns.
