Brady unhurt after two-car accident
Patriots quarterback is back at practice hours after collision
ASSOCIATED PRESS Tom Brady went through his
normal stretching then tossed soft passes as usual at the start of practice. The New England Patriots’
quarterback seemed fine Thurs- day, less than seven hours after he was involved in a two-car crash near his home in Boston’s back bay.
Boston police have cited the
driver of a van involved in the accident. Police say 21-year-old Ludgero Rodrigues was cited Thursday for failing to stop at a red light. A police report says Rodrigues
was driving a Mercury Villager minivan and struck Brady’s Audi sedan at an intersection near Brady’s home. A 49-year-old pas- senger in the minivan was seri- ously injured. Bradywasnot hurt. The report says Brady told offi-
cers he had a green light and attempted to swerve out of the way when the van crossed his path.His car struck the passenger side of the van. lPACKERS: Green Bay signed cornerback CharlesWoodson to a contract extension through the 2014 season, a deal that will likely allow the 2009 Associated Press defensive player of the year to retire as a Packer. The 33-year-old Woodson
signed a five-year contract that is worth as much as $55 million, a person familiar with the deal told the AP. The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because financial details of the contract were not released, said Woodson canmake$20million in advances and bonuses and about $33.5 million in the first three years of the newdeal. “The mission at this point is to
retire here,”Woodson said. “It’s a big deal.” AndWoodson wants to bring a championship to Green Bay be- fore it’s all over. “I mean, we’ve got it here,”
Woodson said. “We’ve got the players to get it done. We’ve got the coaching staff to get it done. It’s all going to rest on our shoul- ders, on the players to go out thereandget it done.Ourmission as a team is to get there and I think we can do it.” lCOWBOYS: Pro Bowl wide
receiver Miles Austin is getting a six-year contract extension. Fi- nancial terms were not immedi- ately disclosed. Austin signed a $3.168 million
contract in June, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had repeatedly said he wanted to sign the receiv- ercomingoffabreakout season to a long-term deal. The decision comes three days before the sea-
son opener against the Redskins inWashington on Sunday night. lCARDINALS:
Second-year
running back BeanieWells sat out practice again with a sore right knee. He said the knee is “a lot better” but it would be the coach’s decision on whether he would play in the Cardinals’ season opener Sunday in St. Louis. “We’ll see,” CoachKen Whisen-
hunt said. “If he can make the kind of progress he’s made the last couple of days then we’ll see where he is on game day.” lDOLPHINS:
Injury-prone
center Jake Grove has been re- leased, meaning Joe Berger will start in the opener Sunday at Buffalo. Grove, who had been battling
with Berger for the starting job, nursed shoulder and knee inju- ries during the preseason and missed four games last season. Grove had signed a five-year
contract as a free agent last year. He received at least $14 million guaranteed in that deal. lBILLS: Middle linebacker
Kawika Mitchell missed practice because of a foot injury, and it’s doubtful he’ll play in Buffalo’s season opener against Miami on Sunday. Coach Chan Gailey declined to
say which foot Mitchell injured, or to release details except to say he was hurt in practice a day earlier and is “doubtful” to play. Mitchell was having tests to de- termine what Gailey called a “short-term and long-term” prog- nosis, an indication the injury could be severe. lPANTHERS: Starting right
tackle Jeff Otah acknowledged he’s had continued problems in his recovery from two surgeries on his left knee and is still “twoor three weeks” from being able to play. It leaves thePanthers without a
key cog on their offensive line starting with Sunday’s season opener at the New York Giants, with Geoff Schwartz expected to start in Otah’s place. lTITANS: Coach Jeff Fisher
said Will Witherspoon’s mother died unexpectedly and that the Titans’ starting linebacker has been excused from practice this week. “He’s going through a really
tough time,” Fisher said Thurs- day. “He lost his mom Tuesday, and . . . it was sudden. It was unexpected so we got him to the airport Tuesday and communi- cated with him last night. lJETS: New York avoided a
television blackout by selling out their season opener against the Ravens onMonday night. MattHiggins, the team’s execu-
tive vice president of business operations, added that the Jets are “essentially sold out” — in- cluding personal seat licenses — for the rest of theirhomegamesat the New Meadowlands Stadium. The team still has 1,500 club seats remaining, though.
KLMNO
EZ SU HIGH SCHOOLS Jonathan Haden, the latest in a long line haden from D1
Carroll to a 28-0 victory over Coolidge on Aug. 27. It was a game more anticipated for Colts Coach Natalie Randolph’s debut on the sidelines, but ultimately might have been affirmation for college recruiters’ speculation aboutHaden’s potential. “Since I was 9, people always
wanted to know what I was do- ing,” said Jonathan, who returns to the field Friday at St. Mary’s Rykenafter Carrollhadlastweek off. “Back when I was playing for [Marlow Heights Hurricanes] boys club, I was saying, ‘I can’t wait until I get to high school.’ ” Neither could area coaches. “I got almost as many calls for
him as I did with my other sons for college,” said Joe Haden Sr., running off a list of schools in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference from DeMatha to Good Counsel to St. John’s to Gonzaga, among others. “If you name them in theD.C. area, I got a call from them.” Jonathan said he and his fa-
ther last spring visited both De- Matha and Good Counsel, schools that havemet in the past sixWCAC finals. Both programs have appeared on national tele- vision multiple times in recent years. Good Counsel would have
made sense, even though the Olney school is far from the Ha- dens’UpperMarlboro home. Joe Sr. started an athletic training business in 2006, and said he works with about 10 current Good Counsel players, including quarterback Zach Dancel, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, tight end Vincent Croce and running back Wes Brown. Dancel’s father, Ber- nie, who has donated generously to the Falcons’ program, even made an intriguing offer to the Hadens. “Bernie’s great.He would have
taken my son and let him stay with him,” Joe Sr. said. “But the biggest thing is distance. I couldn’t be that far away from him. And you’ve got to remem- ber, he’s 14 years old.” Dancel did not return a phone
message seeking comment. Good Counsel Coach BobMil-
loy said of Haden: “He’s a legit player.We were definitely inter- ested. He’s got bloodlines and you’d love for him to get to your school. But I guess you can’t get them all.” Ultimately, the Hadens chose
Carroll, which is coming off a 2-8 seasonandhasnotwontheCath- olic league title since 1988. The reason they picked the school near North Capitol Street was simple — immediate playing time. “You figure what college
coaches are looking for,” said Joe Sr., drawing upon his experience with his three oldest sons, “and what they want is [game] film. Thebiggestthingforhimis toget on the field early, and by the end of his sophomore year at Carroll, he’ll have 25 to 30 [scholarship] offers. Since hewas6, 7 years old, he’sboughtintowhatheneeds to do to get to the next level.”

JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST
Carroll freshman JonathanHaden dashes through the Coolidge defense in their Aug. 27 meeting. TheHadens’ approach to both
high school football and the re- cruiting process begs plenty of questions about both. Most of them center around exposure: how to get it, how to use it and how to handle it. Joe Sr. said he wanted his son
to get on the field early in his career, and knew that would be difficult at either DeMatha or Good Counsel, where Haden would be buried on the depth chart this year. DeMatha Coach Bill
McGregor said he has reserva- tions about putting freshmen, who are still developing physi- cally, onto the varsity with much moremature, older teenagers. “You’re drastically risking in-
jury,”McGregor said. “You’ve got [older] kids benching over 300 pounds playing against him. I’ve never seen a freshman come close to that. There’s plenty of time. It’s not instant gratifica- tion. It’s a journey. “You can get someone enough
exposure by his senior year. There’s more exposure now be- tween camps and combines than you’ll ever get. It’s easier now to get a kid a scholarship than ever before.” At Carroll, meantime, Haden
got a chance right away. Against Coolidge, he displayed shiftiness in the open field and speed around the corner. The Hadens also said Carroll
Coach Rick Houchens was best prepared to handle all the atten- tion about to be foisted upon

Jonathan. They saw Houchens’s experience when he was head coach at Eleanor Roosevelt in 2005 and handled the recruit- ment of Derrick Williams, the nation’s most highly regarded prospect that year. “I’ve been through all that
with Derrick Williams,” Houchens said. “There’s nothing I haven’t seen.What you see with Jonathan is that he’s been around high-caliber people his whole life. He’s not the typical freshman.” In a perfect world, Joe Sr. said,
Jonathan will have a solid fresh- man year, as Carroll begins to improve. After his sophomore year, he will have advanced enough to where the following season, Carroll will be in conten- tion for the WCAC title with Jonathan getting most of the credit for elevating the program. “You want to go through some
adversity before you get to the next level,” Joe Sr. said. “But when Jonathan is in the 11th grade, they’re going to be con- tenders for the WCAC. I truly believe that. He’s going to play early. You rush for 80 yards againstDeMathaasaninthgrad- er,you’regoingtogetsomeatten- tion.” Haden’s name recognition

until the beginning of the re- cruit’s junior year. “The word ‘exposure’ is so overblown, especially in today’s world where there’s so much ex- posure, it’s impossible to miss a kid,” said Allen Wallace, who founded SuperPrep magazine in 1985 and isnownational recruit- ing editor for the Web site
Scout.com. “Why do you need 25, 30 offers by the end of your sophomore year? Game film from that early on isn’t that im- portant. It’s what have you done formelately.” Already, the recruiting pro-
cess has unfolded differently for Jonathan than it did for his older brothers. “We drove thousands of miles
[to camps and combines] with Joe and Josh, but with Jordan, we didn’t have to do all those camps,” Joe Sr. said. “With Jona- than, we don’t have to do any- thing. The football stuff is taking care of itself. We just have to make sure he’s humble, healthy and realizes how blessed he is.” The message has been re-
ceived. “I always had this mind-set
that I was going to be a football player,” he said. “My dream is to play in the NFL and that’s what I’mgoing to do.Nothing can stop me.”
