Jackson, who leads the Eagles with eight touchdowns this season, suffered a concussion in last week's win over the Washington Redskins.

"He felt pretty good today, but he's not all the way back yet," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "He still has some normal headaches. He's just not ready yet."

Jackson, wide receiver Kevin Curtis (knee), running back Brian Westbrook (concussion) and linebacker Akeem Jordan (knee) were ruled out by Reid after Friday's practice. Curtis has been out since the second week of the season.

Tight end Brent Celek, who suffered a sprained thumb in last week's win, practiced this week and Reid said he should play.

Westbrook will miss his third straight game since suffering his second concussion of the season in San Diego. The running back has missed six games.

Westbrook visited doctors in Pittsburgh this week and the news was somewhat encouraging. Still, he remains out indefinitely.

"(Trainer) Rick (Burkholder) has been in contact with the doctors in Pittsburgh," Reid said. "We'll see what happens next week. He's been feeling better and that's a plus."
