BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - Now that he's finally signed his contract,
Jeremy Maclin hopes to show the Eagles that trading up to draft him
was a smart move.Maclin arrived at Eagles training camp yesterday a
day after agreeing to a five-year deal. The Eagles traded up two
spots to select the speedy wide receiver from Missouri at 19th
overall in this year's NFL draft.

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) - Hines Ward didn't appear at the Pittsburgh
Steelers' afternoon practice until he started running sprints with
Willie Parker midway through the 2-hour workout. Four days into
camp, Ward has practiced once. He said yesterday he's not injured,
although he had offseason shoulder surgery.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia's Arena Football League team
appears to have folded for good. The Soul's Web site only posts a

seasons. The Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation has been
renamed the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. The AFL suspended play
for the 2009 season.
