Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says he will support quarterback Jacob Park if he intends to transfer to another school. Campbell released a statement after the Des Moines Register quoted Park as saying he asked for a release from his scholarship. Park, a junior, was Iowa State’s starting quarterback until early October, when he went on an indefinite leave of absence.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters returned from his one-game suspension for a series of embarrassing incidents. But he was not available in the locker room and coach Andy Reid refused to discuss the situation. Still, his return should help a Chiefs defense that was improved last week but faces a big test in the Chargers on Saturday night.

NEW YORK (AP) — ESPN says former NFL players Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis will not appear on any of its networks while it investigates a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed against NFL Network. A woman who worked as a wardrobe stylist at NFL Network accuses McNabb and Davis of various sexually inappropriate encounters. She also made accusations against former players Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor and Heath Evans, and former NFL Network executive Eric Weinberger. None of the men responded to messages from the AP.
