Penn State wide receiver Curtis Drake is rehabbing from his second broken leg in a year but may actually be healthy enough to play in the Nittany Lions' opener.  

Drake is a speedy playmaker whom head coach Joe Paterno has talked about getting more involved in the offense.  Look for Drake to be eased along while also sharing time with fellow speedster Devon Smith.
