"He felt good during the exercise that he did this past weekend," Reid said. "One of the days, he woke up with a slight headache. That was Saturday morning. It wasn't anything to worry too much about. He's feeling pretty good, and we'll just see how he does here the closer we get to Wednesday."

Reid said Westbrook might go through more exercise testing yesterday.

If all goes well, Reid said, he expects Westbrook to "go through a normal practice" tomorrow.

Without Westbrook, the Eagles had their most productive rushing day of the season as the tandem of rookie tailback LeSean McCoy and fullback Leonard Weaver combined for 157 yards on 19 carries, as well as 2 touchdowns.

Reid said the Eagles won't be any more or less cautious with Westbrook because of that production.

"We're going to be [cautious] anyway," Reid said. "We're going to make sure he's OK to perform. We're not going to do anything to put him in jeopardy."

In other injury news, Reid said strong-side linebacker Chris Gocong suffered a thigh bruise and strained hamstring on his right leg.

"It's a day-to-day situation," he said.

Reid indicated that defensive end Chris Clemons is OK after leaving Sunday's game with a sprained shoulder joint.

Big-play offense. Through seven games, the Eagles have scored 20 offensive touchdowns, and 17 of them have come on drives that lasted six plays or fewer. Quarterback Donovan McNabb has led the Eagles to just one touchdown on a drive of more than six plays.

Reid's reaction to the Eagles' quick-strike offense: "I'll take them any way I can get them. If they come quick, I'll take them quick. If they come long, I'll take them long. I don't care as long as we're putting points on the board."

For the record, the Eagles are averaging 29 points per game. Only the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings are averaging more.

A change of plan. Reid said McNabb changed the direction of the play on Weaver's 41-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

"He had a couple of checks in there," Reid said. "One of them was the first touchdown, where he switched the play from one side to the other side. He did a nice job on all his checks, but that one in particular."

One and done. The Eagles ran only one play from the Wildcat formation against the Giants.

After the Eagles called a time-out with 56 seconds left in the first quarter, Michael Vick trotted onto the field, took a direct snap from center Jamaal Jackson , and, with the help of a nice block from tight end Brent Celek , raced around right end for a 4-yard gain on a third-and-1 play.

Vick did not play again until the Eagles ran out the clock in the fourth quarter.

"There is no set number [of Wildcat plays] that we come in with," Reid said. "It's whatever we feel comfortable with. He's glad to be here and playing again, so any opportunity he can have he's glad to have. At the same time, if he doesn't get but one, there's no complaining going on."

Reid said Vick looked good on that play.

"He's down to his playing weight," the coach said. "I think he's back. He looked like he had a little juice on that one."
