Though Michael Vick has had scant impact on the Philadelphia Eagles in his NFL return, he again will be in the spotlight when he returns Sunday to the Georgia Dome.

Superman has become the handyman. Michael Vick produced plenty of dazzling plays with the Atlanta Falcons. He's still waiting to do something special for the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick's return to the NFL following a two-year absence has mostly been a dud. Except for a 34-yard run two weeks ago at Chicago, Vick hasn't done anything noteworthy in his first nine games.

Jason Elam figured he was down to his last miss. He was right. The Atlanta Falcons released the 17-year veteran on Tuesday, having finally run out of patience with a kicker who had been one of the NFL's most accurate but struggled through a mystifying slump this season. Elam was just 8 of 15 on field goal attempts from at least 30 yards, a success rate that was simply unacceptable -- especially...
