Right tackle Winston Justice has been unable to practice following two off- season knee surgeries, which prompted the Birds t |

Vick led three scoring drives, the first-team defense pitched a shutout and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Cleveland Browns 24-14 on a rain-soaked Thursday night. Vick wasn't particularly sharp. He took a lot of hits and had to escape trouble quite a bit. Still, he managed to complete 10 of 18 passes for 98 yards. He ran for 24 yards and a touchdown. "We're trying to do a lot of different things," Vick said. "This is |

NAPA, Calif. (AP) - In one of the highest-profile moves of the offseason, the Oakland Raiders lost an All-Pro cornerback when Nnamdi Asomugha signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Woodson's main task is to help develop four young cornerbacks the Raiders have drafted the past two seasons into reliable NFL players as Oakland tries to replace Asomugha. Eigh |
