The NBA offseason is about to kick into high gear, with the NBA Draft just a week days away. We project every pick in the lottery, ending with the Celtics at No. 14 overall.

After a plane crash killed most of Marshall University’s football team in 1970, school administrators could have resorted to the simplest choice — dropping the losing sport altogether. “We felt the guys would want us to go on,” said Ed Carter, a sophomore offensive lineman who was supposed to be on the team plane but wasn’t. The team’s long, determined crawl back to success was chronicled in the 2006 movie “We Are Marshall ” — a title borrowed from the chants that resonate at Thundering Herd games.

A source familiar with the situation says Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will miss practice to get a second medical opinion on his injured right shoulder. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the team has not released the details surrounding the injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of a 33-31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The source would not say what McCaffrey’s original diagnosis was.

The Cleveland Browns activated quarterback Baker Mayfield from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, allowing him to return to team facilities for practice ahead of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. Mayfield was added to the list on Sunday after he was found to be in close contact with a non-coaching staff member who tested positive the day before. The Browns had a bye last week and the only practice Mayfield missed was on Monday, though coach Kevin Stefanski says Mayfield was involved in virtual calls and will watch tape of Monday’s session.

McCaffrey has reportedly gone from “day-to-day” to “week-to-week” with a shoulder injury.
