AROUND THE WEB:

-- John Harbaugh and Ozzie Newsome will reportedly be questioned under oath Thursday in Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL.

Kaepernick has the option to attend the questioning of the Ravens’ coach and general manager. He was present for the questioning of Texans owner Bob McNair in March.

The quarterback’s complaint claims NFL teams have colluded to keep him out of the league because of his social justice protests of kneeling during the pregame national anthem.

Adding to this, the Ravens signed quarterback Robert Griffin III on Wednesday night and he, like Kaepernick, hasn’t played a snap since the 2016 season.

-- A golfer injured his ankle celebrating a hole-in-one during the Par-3 Tournament at the Masters on Wednesday and there is question as to whether he will have to withdraw from the actual Masters.

Tony Finau,  ranked No. 34 in the world, popped his ankle back into place after the dislocation and withdrew from the event. He stayed for the final two holes before leaving in a golf cart.

“Indeed @tonyfinaugolf did dislocate his left ankle today during the Par 3 contest but immediately put it back in place. X-rays tonight revealed no breaks.  Will have an MRI tomorrow morning. If results are positive and swelling is under control will try to play @TheMasters,” Todd Lewis reported in a tweet Wednesday.

Crazy day. Thanks for thoughts of concern, messages and prayers from all. I'm optimistic. https://t.co/m9y5T1a9Uy
