Texas linebacker crashes car into apartment

Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle was treated for a concussion after crashing his car into an Austin, Texas, apartment building last week while he was either sending or receiving a text message, his attorney said Monday.

Kindle's attorney, Brian Roark, said Kindle lost control of the car on June 24 while looking at the message.

"It was probably something he should not have been doing," Roark said.

The crash caused about $8,700 damage. No one inside was hurt. After the crash, Kindle pushed the car back into the street and went home. He was checked by team doctors and told he had a concussion but did not have to be hospitalized.

Kindle, a senior, had 10 sacks last season. In 2007, he missed the first three games while serving a suspension for a drunken driving arrest.

Also: North Carolina State linebacker Nate Irving is recovering from surgery after being hurt in a car crash near Raleigh, N.C.

A WakeMed Trauma Center spokeswoman said Irving was in good condition after surgery Sunday night. Irving was hospitalized with a broken leg and a collapsed lung after running his vehicle off the road at 4:40 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 40.

Irving has been charged with careless and reckless driving. It's unknown if he will be able to play this season.

Eagles reach pact with second-round choice

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a four-year deal with second-round draft choice LeSean McCoy, according to his agent.

Former Durango High School pitcher Danny Reynolds signed with the Los Angeles Angels.

Reynolds, a sixth-round draft pick, said he inked a five-year deal with a bonus of $125,000 and that the Angels would pay for his college education.

NASCAR filed court documents that show an independent lab found an illegal substance in the urine sample that led to Jeremy Mayfield's suspension for a failed drug test.

The documents, part of NASCAR's response to Mayfield's lawsuit to have his indefinite suspension lifted, show that Medtox Laboratories in Minnesota tested both his "A" and backup "B" samples last week and "confirmed the presence" of a substance that is blacked out in the filing.

Both sides are due in U.S. District Court in Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday.
