Westbrook comes highly recommended by his former Eagles teammate, Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1753), who apparently has made his case for the running back since McNabb was acquired by Washington in a trade, a source said.

Westbrook, who was released by the Eagles in February, has passed a physical with the St. Louis Rams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=stl), where he also has a familiarity with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, a former Eagles assistant.
Westbrook's ailments that have passed physical screenings include knee and ankle injuries, as well as multiple concussions.
The Redskins have the first organized team activity May 17-19; their level of interest in Westbrook is unknown. Dialogue between the two sides has been ongoing.
