DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk has made it back for the start of preseason camp nearly six months after he ruptured his left Achilles tendon during an offseason conditioning workout.Sirk will take part in the Blue Devils first practice on Monday night, Coach David Cutcliffe said, but it will be in a limited role.While the teams medical staff has declared Sirk 100 percent ready and Cutcliffe says his quarterback feels great, he added theres a little bit of a mystery. So, the coaching staff is putting Sirk on a pitch count, not just on throws but on how much weve fatigued him and the plan is to let him work through his position drills and 7-on-7 passing workouts, among other drills.Cutcliffe said he will have a clearer picture of Sirks status a week and a half into this thing and see where he really is.Sirk is a redshirt senior who in his first season as the Blue Devils starter led them to their first bowl victory since 1961. He was the co-MVP of the overtime Pinstripe Bowl win over Indiana after rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for another. Last season, he passed for 2,625 yards with 16 TDs and led the team in rushing with 803 yards and eight scores.Sirk was hurt Feb. 9 while running a 10-yard sprint with some teammates. He heard a pop in his left heel and immediately recognized the sound -- the same one he heard in his other heel in April 2013, when he ruptured his right Achilles tendon and was lost for that season.I thought I was going to see a totally crumbled youngster, Cutcliffe said. I saw a determined young man with great spirit and great attitude. ... I celebrate that every day.Sirk missed spring practice but set a goal of returning for the start of fall camp, and he is listed atop the preseason depth chart in the teams media guide. Duke opens the season Sept. 3 against North Carolina Central.Sirk has been working with the Blue Devils receivers all spring and summer, keeping his throwing arm and mental skills sharp while his heel heals.Hes not favoring any leg. Hes giving it all on his messed-up leg, as you would say, and he looks fluid to me, receiver Anthony Nash said. Hes not passive, hes not timid. Thats the main thing for him, just keeping that confidence.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

Dale Steyn underwent a successful shoulder surgery on Thursday in Cape Town to repair the fracture he suffered during the first Test against Australia in Perth, Cricket South Africa said in a release. The fast bowler will have to undergo a six-month rehabilitation before gradually returning to bowling.Steyn suffered the injury on the second day in Perth and told Channel Nine that he felt a thud in his shoulder and a lot of pain while bowling. He had bowled only 12.4 overs in the match, and had dismissed David Warner before walking off the field.I felt this pop or like a thud in my shoulder. There was a lot of pain, Steyn said. I had to go off the field and have an MRI. I did something very similar against England in December in a similar area but it wasnt as bad. That was a stress reaction, which is like a very hairline little crack. This time its more like a fracture. Its kind of broken the whole bone.Dr Mohammed Moosajee, South Africas team manager, said Steyn would begin his rehabilitation programme after a few weeks, once the bone had healed.Dale had successful surgery on Thursday where the fracture in the right shoulder blade was fixated with the placement of a screw, Moosajee was quoted as saying in a press release. We expect a minimum six-month rehabilitation period before he can start any form of bowling. It is crucial to give the injury enough time to heal and to make sure tthat he is completely pain-free before he starts bowling again.dddddddddddd. He will begin with his rehabilitation programme once the satisfactory bony healing has taken place; this is expected to be in a few weeks.We are positive that he will make a successful return to international cricket. He will be provided with the best possible support and guidance led by our physiotherapist, Brandon Jackson, and Cricket South Africas medical committee, which will give him the best opportunity to make a successful return to full fitness.Steyn had suffered a similar injury late last year, and broke down during the Boxing Day Test against England. He was subsequently ruled out of the remaining matches of that series.Steyn made a comeback from that injury at the World T20 in March, featuring in two of South Africas four matches. He was then left out of the Caribbean triangular series in June - officially rested but unofficially dropped - and was allowed to play in the NatWest T20 Blast to regain form. He returned for South Africas Tests against New Zealand and seemed back to his best with eight wickets in the Centurion win. He also played in four of the five ODIs against Australia and was occasionally seen holding the shoulder but did not need treatment at any stage. ' ' '
