I was reading Oesher's article from Marrone's press conference on Monday. He spoke about Westbrook and the shoulder injury that he's been dealing with. Hopefully this doesn't become more of an issue going forward. We can't afford to lose him given Lee's injury history along with all the TE injuries:

Marrone on Monday also lauded wide receiver Dede Westbrook, who caught six passes for a season-high 103 yards Sunday while playing through a shoulder issue that had him questionable on the injury report entering the weekend. Westbrook said after the game he has been dealing with the issue since a Week 4 victory over Denver and that he expects it could linger all season. “He’s tough as hell for a guy of his stature,” Marrone said. Five of Westbrook’s six receptions Sunday produced first downs. “One thing I like about Dede is once he gets the ball in his hands, he always has a chance to do something with it,” Marrone said. Marrone also said he expected veteran wide receiver Marqise Lee to return this week after missing Sunday’s game with an ankle injury sustained in a Week 6 loss to New Orleans.
