Suspended Two Marshall University football players have been suspended after being arrested on drug charges in western Barboursville, W.Va. Tailback Darius Marshall and defensive back DeQuan Bembry, also known as DeQuan Starling, were arrested early Saturday in Cabell County and charged with possession with intent to deliver. An officer at Western Regional Jail said they both were being held there on $20,000 bond. Last season as a sophomore, Marshall ran for 1,177 yards and scored five touchdowns. Bembry had 80 tackles, including 7.5 for loss, and intercepted a pass as a redshirt freshman.

Recovering Starting guard Courtney Lee has been medically cleared to play but is not expected back for the Orlando Magic anytime soon as he recovers from surgery on his fractured sinus.

Lee was injured in Game 5 of Orlando’s first-round series against Philadelphia on an inadvertent elbow by teammate Dwight Howard.
