The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia said that on Monday, at approximately 8:24 a.m., local time, it received a call from the Brunswick Academy, who said that “a suspicious package was on school grounds.” In a press release posted to Facebook, the sheriff’s office said an investigation revealed the package was dropped by a drone at around 5:40 a.m., as a witness informed police that they noticed a drone land on the school grounds at that time....

The medical supplies were bandages meant for an almost 2-year-old boy named Leo. He has epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic condition that results in easy blistering of the skin. The blisters occur with even the slightest friction and the condition is very painful. The bandages are used by Leo’s parents to “fully wrap” the child and protect his fragile skin. “They’re pretty much the most crucial piece of our care regimen for Leo,” said his mom, Crystal Leptich....

Not Jordy Nelson — and that’s why the Green Bay wide receiver is the Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year, as voted upon by fellow NFL players. Nelson needed little time to show he was still among the NFL’s top play-makers after missing the entire 2015 campaign with a preseason knee injury. Nelson scored a league-high 14 touchdowns among 97 catches that generated 1,254 receiving yards. MORE: All-time greatest Packers players...

According to ESPN.com, Montgomery was held out for precautionary reasons after struggling with a kidney-related ailment. MORE: Best images from Week 8 It is not considered to be serious, but the Packers didn’t want to take any chances. Montgomery had been limited all week during practice with an undisclosed illness, but all reports indicated he would be ready to play. When he didn’t, and news didn’t break until after the early games had started, many were left to scurry for a backup plan....

With Green Bay finishing No. 22 in total defense (yards allowed) again while also falling further in scoring defense (points allowed) to No. 26, one would think there’s no such thing as a quick fix. But then you look at the Packers’ talent on every level and realize Capers’ replacement is looking at an attractive assignment. Capers’ scheme and alignment, which were instrumental in the Packers’ winning Super Bowl XLV seven seasons ago, had grown a little stale and didn’t adjust as well to a personnel overhaul over the past four drafts....

Aaron Rodgers is going to be unavailable for Green Bay’s game after a positive COVID-19 test. The news was revealed by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and later, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Rodgers is missing the game because he is unvaccinated. This came as a surprise to many, as Rodgers had previously announced that he was “immunized” before the season. Apparently, that doesn’t mean the same thing as being vaccinated against COVID-19....

But that’s what happened Thursday night when the Packers selected him with the 27th overall pick, leaving Jack on the board. Jack was considered a top-five pick, but teams clearly aren’t comfortable with the knee injury he suffered last September. Reports surfaced this week that Jack actually has a chondral defect after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. The Packers have a big need at middle linebacker to keep Clay Matthews on the outside....

Then, some massive news came in. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss the game as a result of a positive COVID-19 test. Naturally, that had an immediate impact on the betting line.

There’s no position in football that’s more important than quarterback, so when a player like Rodgers is knocked out of action, betting lines can move quickly and are often volatile....

In the NFC championship game in 2015, of course, Green Bay blew a 19-7 fourth-quarter lead in a matter of three minutes. On Sunday, though, Rodgers willed the Packers past Seattle with a series of clutch throws to prevent another collapse. He hit Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham on a pair of third-down throws to seal the game. Green Bay’s 28-23 win sends it to an NFC championship game matchup against San Francisco....

Like the Broncos, the Packers boast a juggernaut offense led by an elite quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. “A-Rod” is on the LVH SuperBook’s props board for 255.5 total gross passing yards and 1.5 total touchdowns. Even though it was back in September of 2012, it’s worth noting the last time Rodgers played in Seattle, he was held to 223 yards and zero touchdowns while being sacked eight times. His offensive line has improved since then, though, and power back Eddie Lacy has been added to the mix....

The outfielder will be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list to face his former team in Atlanta, Padres manager Bud Black told reporters Sunday.

With the Chargers’ relocation to Los Angeles, the Padres stand alone as San Diego’s only major-league sports option. This is just as sad as it sounds, but it also raises a few questions: — Will the city embrace its baseball team like never before, with fans rallying around their own Boys of Summer as a way to maintain the city’s dwindling sports relevance? — Will the team see this as an opportunity to grab a captive audience, open up the wallet and try to field a legit contender?...

VanZant has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling. Following the show, she posted on social media, “Wanted to give the world one more reason to hate on me 💋😉 PVZ TAKING OVER!!!!” For the past week, it was teased that VanZant, a former UFC star and current bare-knuckle fighter, would sign with AEW.

All the while, U.S. officials have ignored a man who lives a mere stone’s throw from Musharraf. This man’s exclusion might seem understandable: barbed wire surrounds his home, the phone lines are cut and the gate is padlocked from the outside. Yet he is no dangerous criminal. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is the chief justice of Pakistan. He’s also one of the most popular figures in the country, according to recent polls, and its best hope for returning to a democratic path....

Many journalists use the messenger application WhatsApp to communicate with sources, editors and those outside of Gaza. The Associated Pressreported they reached out to 17 journalists in Gaza whose accounts had been blocked since Friday. By Monday, only four of the accounts, which belonged to Al Jazeera journalists, had been restored. Al Jazeera’s chief correspondent in Gaza, Wael al-Dahdouh, was one of the journalists affected. He told the Associated Press his account was blocked around dawn on Friday and had only been restored on Monday....

Before sedation is considered, the team of people caring for you or your loved one—often known as the palliative care team—will look at many possible options to help relieve suffering, such as aggressive symptom management (using any and all medications and treatments that may help) and mental support to help with emotional concerns. The goal is to make the suffering person as comfortable as possible. When this effort isn’t enough, palliative sedation may be an option....

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), an estimated 18.1 million cosmetic procedures (both surgical and minimally invasive) were performed in 2019. While there’s no data yet for the number of procedures performed in 2020, in June, ASPS reported that 64% of plastic surgeons had seen an increase in their patient consultations through telemedicine. Further, 49% of Americans who had never had plastic surgery said they were open to getting it in the future....
