(TMZ) -- Charles Rogers -- the #2 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft -- has died, multiple outlets and former teammates confirm. He was only 38.

The details surrounding Rogers' death are unclear. We're working on it.

One of the people conforming his death is former Michigan State teammate Chris Baker.

"Devastated to learn of the passing of my spartan brother Charles Rodgers," Baker said.

"Spoke with his mom this morning. Please pray for her and his children. Please also be respectful of their privacy at this difficult time. Rip Chuck."

Rogers was selected by the Detroit Lions and flashed huge potential -- catching 22 passes for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns during his first 5 games of the '03 season. But, he suffered a broken clavicle, which ended his rookie campaign.

The following season, he broke his clavicle again -- on just the 3rd play of the '04 season.

He was cut by the Lions in 2006, essentially ending his NFL career.

After his football career ended, Rogers admitted he had struggled with substance abuse -- including an addiction to Vicodin.

He had been arrested multiple times for alcohol-related issues. Rogers -- who reportedly signed a $40 mil rookie contract with the Lions -- is survived by 8 children.

Rogers was a legend at MSU -- where he earned 1st-team All-American honors during his 2002 junior season, when he posted 68 catches for 1,351 yards and 13 TDs.

MIAMI (AP) — Dion Waiters has been handed a 10-game suspension by the Miami Heat, with the team citing multiple examples of conduct detrimental to the team as the reason for his second banishment of the season.

The suspension was announced Sunday. It comes three days after Waiters, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, was treated for a medical emergency that started on the Heat charter flight Thursday night from Phoenix to Los Angeles.

Waiters, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the team nor the player has confirmed details publicly, ingested at least one cannabis-infused edible and had a reaction serious enough that medical attention was required when the plane landed in Los Angeles.

“We are very disappointed in Dion’s actions this season that include the very scary situation on Thursday night, and grateful that the outcome wasn’t worse,” the Heat said in a statement.

Waiters was also suspended for Miami’s season opener after a series of incidents in the preseason and conflicts with coach Erik Spoelstra. His reaction on social media to the first suspension was also not well-received by Miami officials, and Waiters has not appeared in any of the nine Heat games so far this season.

The 10-game suspension, which will likely cost Waiters at least $834,483 in salary, began with Miami’s loss at the Lakers on Friday. The earliest he could return to Miami’s lineup would be Dec. 1, when the Heat visit Brooklyn. But that would seem most unlikely, and Waiters’ future with the franchise is in serious doubt.

It’s unclear what, if any, contact he will have with the team during the suspension.

Waiters is in his fourth Heat season, the on-court portion of that best remembered by his game-winning 3-pointer to beat Golden State 105-102 on Jan. 23, 2017 — part of Miami’s 30-11 finish that season after an 11-30 start.

He was rewarded that summer with a four-year contract worth $47.3 million, plus about $5 million more in possible incentives for playing a certain number of games. Waiters has yet to even get close to that bonus money, and he would have needed to play in 70 of Miami’s 73 remaining games to claim the extra $1.1 million at stake this season.

That is obviously not going to happen.

Waiters has never made more than 46 appearances in a year since coming to Miami. He’s been in only 120 games with the Heat, missing many because of ankle injuries and surgery on his ankle and foot.

Waiters is a career 13.2-point scorer and has averaged 14 points per game while with the Heat.

Miami is off to a 6-3 start without Waiters this season, and play their next five games against teams with records currently below the .500 mark.

“We are proud of how our players have started the season,” the Heat said in Sunday’s statement. “We expect all of our players, including Dion, to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards, and to show professionalism and respect for their teammates, the team, the fans and the NBA community.”

Video After The Jump

(KTLA) -- An Iowa inmate serving a life sentence says he should be a free man after he became ill, momentarily died, and had to be revived at the hospital. But the courts are having none of it.

Benjamin Schreiber was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 after being convicted of first-degree murder. In March 2015, he developed large kidney stones that led to septic poisoning, according to court documents.

He eventually fell unconscious in his cell and was taken to a local hospital, where he was resuscitated five separate times, the documents say.

According to the Iowa Court of Appeals, Schreiber “claims he momentarily died at the hospital, thereby fulfilling his ‘life’ sentence … Because his sentence has been fulfilled, he argues, he is imprisoned illegally and should be immediately released.”

A district court previously denied Schreiber’s motion. And on Wednesday, the Iowa Court of Appeals upheld the lower court’s decision.

In its opinion, the appeals court said a “plain reading” of Iowa law says defendants guilty of a class A felony “must spend the rest of their natural life in prison, regardless of how long that period of time ends up being or any events occurring before the defendant’s life ends.”

“Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison,” Judge Amanda Potterfield wrote, “or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot.”

An attorney for Schreiber did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday morning. It’s unclear whether Schreiber plans to take the case to a higher court.

Video After The Jump

(NBC Bay Area) -- A Bay Area teacher is apologizing for appearing in blackface and the rapper he imitated responded by calling the incident a teachable moment.

Common said he would like to speak with the Milipitas teacher who dressed up in blackface and imitated the rapper and social activist in front of his classroom on Halloween.

"My first thought was, what the hell?" Common said said in an interview with NBC Bay Area. "I'd meet him, to educate him; he's a teacher."

Milpitas High School teacher David Carter spoke exclusively to NBC Bay Area on Thursday. The 48-year-old educator struggled to explain what he did, while trying to deal with the worldwide -- mostly negative -- reaction to his decision to dress up as Common and teach class.

Carter said the Halloween presentation was planned for weeks and that his engineering students expected it.

"I would become the hip-hop artist Common, doing the Microsoft AI guy," Carter said. "I had no intention to come across as blackface and my actions were perceived that way, and offended so many people. I'm truly sorry and I apologize."

Carter said he was stunned by the backlash and defended his methods to a point.

"As a teacher I constantly go over the top to engage my students in learning -- I went too far," he said.

The educator said he hopes the whole episode can start a dialogue about understanding and appreciating culture, and he hopes he can do it in his classroom.

"I recognize my mistake. I ask anybody who has been adverselfy affected by this, and that's a lot of people, to give me another chance because my heart is in the right place," Carter said.

Carter remains on administrative leave as he awaits a decision from the Milpitas Unified School District on his future.

Meanwhile, Common said he first saw the video when his daughter sent it to him.

"Blackface lacks understanding of what black and brown people go through," he said. "I believe in forgiveness, understanding, and compassion to the point where I'm willing to sit and talk with the individual and also bring others who can dig deeper into the education of what blackface has come from."

Earlier in the day, Common in an interview with TMZ was also asked about the incident while he was at Los Angeles International Airport prior to boarding a flight to the Bay Area.

"It's important that teachers and people who are educating our children are well educated themselves on things that deal with history and culture -- emotional history and emotional intelligence is important," Common said to TMZ. "I think we need to look at the teacher, the administration and the people that we have leading our children in classrooms and make sure they are fully equipped not just with academic things, but also have emotional intelligence and understanding. Maybe that's something that we start implementing to our schools."

The Milpitas Unified School District this week announced it placed Carter on administrative leave after video posted on social media shows the Milpitas High teacher in black face and apparently imitating Common.

Common was asked by TMZ about the punishment the educator should face.

"That's a decision administration needs to figure out as far as should this person lose their job. I think that he should definitely go through the training that needs to be done. I would love to hear, 'What makes you think you can go up there and do that?'"

Common also told TMZ he was headed to the Bay Area and wants to get in touch with the school. He also said he would like to speak face-to-face with the educator.

"I'd break it down to him and it would be done with love, but it would be for real. This ain't acceptable, this ain't happening. I would let him know what it is, for sure," Common said. "I'm glad it happened because it's a moment that we got to teach and learn. And more than anything the students showed what they're about. And that goes to show you young people in America got their mind in the right place."

The NAACP has also demanded an investigation into the incident.

"It’s harmful, it’s hurtful, it’s not the right environment for a student of color to see their teacher perform like that," said Pastor Jethroe Moore with the NAACP.

On Sunday, the president of the Milpitas Unified school board, Chris Norwood, issued a statement, saying the actions were inappropriate, unprofessional and insensitive.

"District administration has placed a staff member on administrative leave, and I have asked the superintendent to ensure an immediate investigation is conducted," Norwood said.

Things have not been going well for Dion Waiters. The Miami Heat shooting guard has not played in a game this season, and that streak continued Friday under bizarre circumstances.

According to Miami radio host, Andy Slater, Waiters ingested too many "gummies" while the team was in flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles and passed out.

"He had a seizure when he was finally woken up, I’m told," Slater tweeted.

Waiters had recovered enough by game time to be able to sit on the bench and watch as Miami fell to the Lakers 95-80 at Staples Center.
