PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick's speed and flash are back. His arm strength also has looked good during Philadelphia Eagles practices at the team's NovaCare Complex. But can he still play quarterback in the NFL? We'll begin to find the answer Thursday night. That's when Vick - wearing a No. 7 jersey and with what coach Andy Reid said likely will be butterflies in his stomach - will play in his first NFL game in two years when the Eagles meet the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lincoln Financial Field.

Jim Leonhard wanted the chance to play in Rex Ryan's defensive system. Fabian Washington wanted the chance to play anywhere other than Oakland. Together, they are starting over in the Ravens' secondary, perhaps just in the nick of time. In a daily battle against attrition this summer, Ryan, the Ravens' defensive coordinator, has yet to put his projected starting secondary on the field because of injuries. With the season opener just 11 days away, Leonhard and Washington could become key figures in any potential makeover.

It was practice, not a game, but Navy's starting quarterback, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, knew the coaches wanted this practice to emulate game-day intensity, and he also knew he had been encouraged to be more aggressive. So when he was carrying the ball and needed just one more yard for a first down, Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada (KAI-Po-NOAH cay-HAY-ah-coo-en-HOD-un; his friends call him Kaipo) put his head down and went for it. The ensuing head-to-head collision snapped his neck back and set off spasms down the left side of his neck that have sidelined him for the week.

Henry Sims, a 6-foot-10, 225-pound All-Metro center from Mount St. Joseph, committed orally to Georgetown over the weekend. "When I visited, I really appreciated coach [John] Thompson's honesty about getting to play right away," said Sims, who narrowed down his choices to Georgetown and Virginia from a list that included Boston College, Florida and Maryland. "Coach Thompson told me that if I worked hard, I would get a chance as a freshman." This past season, DaJuan Summers - a two-time All-Metro forward and The Sun's Player of the Year in 2005 - started as a freshman for the Hoyas, who reached the Final Four.

ASHBURN, Va. -- They came at different times, for different reasons, and with different perspectives. When Brandon Lloyd arrived at Redskins Park last spring after spending his first three seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, he looked at the trade as a chance to play with a winning team and a veteran quarterback, and in the new high-powered offense Al Saunders had just brought from Kansas City.

Bill Kerruish knew plenty about hockey while growing up. His father played with the old Buffalo, N.Y., team in the American Hockey League, but the lure of the sport never attracted Kerruish - until he became an adult. Kerruish, a Severn resident, started playing the game when he was about 26 in a Baltimore league before moving to Piney Orchard's Adult Hockey League in 1993. When the 44-year-old government employee is not coaching the Hazmats in the Piney Orchard League, he is playing the sport.
