[naviga:h3]Pens lose Murray to undisclosed injury[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.

Coach Mike Sullivan said Thursday that Murray is “week to week.” Murray left Wednesday night’s comeback victory over Carolina after the second period. Marc-Andre Fleury came on in relief as the Penguins rallied for a 3-2 win.

Fleury, the winningest goaltender in club history, has struggled at times this season but has played better of late. The 32-year-old is 11-5-4 with a 3.13 goals-against and a .908 save percentage.

[naviga:h3]BYU coach legend Edwards dead at 86[/naviga:h3]

Before LaVell Edwards was promoted to head coach, BYU ran a slogging run-first offense that yielded mediocre or worse records.

Under Edwards, dizzying passing numbers became the norm, and college football fans stayed in front of their TVs late Saturday nights from the 1970s to ‘90s to see just how many points the Cougars could score.

Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Ty Detmer and other quarterbacks flourished, and the Cougars grew in prominence, even being voted national champions in 1984.

Edwards, the humble and devout Mormon who won 257 games at the Utah school over 29 seasons, died Thursday at 86.

[naviga:h3]Salaam’s death confirmed suicide[/naviga:h3]

DENVER — Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam killed himself after struggling with depression, an autopsy report confirmed, but investigators will never know whether the one-time running back suffered chronic head trauma from playing football because his family did not consent to those tests.

Salaam was found dead Dec. 5 in a park near the University of Colorado, where he played from 1992-94, becoming one of the greatest players in the program’s history. He was 42.

Salaam died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Arkansas senior tight end Jeremy Sprinkle was suspended from the Belk Bowl against No. 18 Virginia Tech after police accused him of shoplifting from the department store that sponsors the game.

Sprinkle was charged by Charlotte Mecklenburg Police with shoplifting by concealment Tuesday at the Belk department store and was released.

As a perk of the game, Belk gave players on both teams a $450 gift card to one of their department stores and 90 minutes to spend it. The police report indicates that Sprinkle shoplifted $260 worth of merchandise.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos pass rush specialist DeMarcus Ware is scheduled to have surgery Friday to repair a ruptured disk, ending what’s been an injury-filled season.
