Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich has returned to campus and attended the Eagles' practice Sunday afternoon in Alumni Stadium.
Herzlich disclosed earlier this year that he is suffering from Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare cancer, and has been undergoing treatment in Philadelphia. Herzlich returned to The Heights this weekend and moved back to his dorm room. He plans to return to the classroom when classes begin on September 8 and will participate in team meetings and some strength and conditioning workouts.
Herzlich, who will be sidelined for the entire 2009 season, will resume his cancer treatment at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
