will perform a conditioning drill. Their first official practice is
Friday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Football is back. Philadelphia Eagles owner
Jeffrey Lurie is more than pleased with the news. Lurie says, "In

all go back to work feeling good about what was accomplished."

University, with a start date still unknown.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Though Paul Posluszny would prefer
re-signing with the Buffalo Bills, the linebacker says he will

been settled and the league's free agency period is about to open.
Buffalo selected the Butler, Pennsylvania native in the 2007 draft
out of Penn State.

division, a half-game ahead of Milwaukee, which was off.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates placed outfielder Alex Presley on
