It's the kind of usage Andy Reid used to give to Brian Westbrook annually. McCoy is the rare three-down and goal-line back in an explosive offense and projects for another 300-plus touch season.

Improvement in that area could help McCoy stay on the field even more in 2012. "I think I want to carry the load a little more," he said. "I think last year I touched the ball more than usual but I want to be in the pass game a little more, don’t come out as much and things like that. I want to be a bigger factor."

LeSean McCoy is dealing with swelling in his knee after suffering a "little tweak" in Sunday's win, but is expected to be fine for Week 5.

It sounds like McCoy's practice reps could be scaled back this week, but he's in no danger of missing Sunday's showdown with the Steelers. The league's No. 3 rusher through four games, McCoy's status will be updated Wednesday.

LeSean McCoy (concussion) is still in Phase 1 of his recovery.

In other words, McCoy isn't close to a return. He's far behind Michael Vick, who sustained his concussion a week before McCoy and still hasn't been cleared. With the Eagles' season in the toilet, Shady certainly won't be rushed. Exciting rookie Bryce Brown will start at least one more game and could very well be "the man" for a few more weeks after that. Brown busted out with 23 touches, 189 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's loss to the Panthers. He'll be on the RB1 radar against the Cowboys Sunday.

LeSean McCoy (concussion) remained absent from Eagles practice Wednesday.

McCoy is still in Phase 1 of his recovery, and is unlikely to practice at all this week. That means electric rookie Bryce Brown should be in for another start against the Cowboys. Brown will be a high-end RB2 for Week 13.

LeSean McCoy (concussion) has still not been cleared for game action.

McCoy will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist as the final step in his concussion program. He's due to meet with a specialist early next week. "Right now LeSean is not ready to go," said coach Andy Reid. "I will play him when he's ready to go." Bryce Brown has come under fire for persistent, which may also be leading to a bad habit of running away from contact. Reid insists, however, that Brown "needs to play," which is why he hasn't been severely punished for fumbling.
