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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a dislocated clavicle in their win over Jacksonville. But star quarterback Patrick Mahomes escaped serious injury when a player rolled onto his ankle, resulting in a sprain that briefly sidelined him. Now, the Chiefs have to adjust a few things as they prepare to visit Oakland.

UNDATED (AP) — Josh Sargent’s red hair could become as known in St. Louis one day as the Gateway Arch if he develops into an American soccer star. Sargent left St. Dominic High School in O’Fallon, Missouri, in the middle of 10th grade and scored four goals at the 2017 Under-20 World Cup. He agreed to sign with Werder Bremen when he turned 18 the following February, then scored in his senior international and Bundesliga debuts.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has lost after leading in the second half in five of 14 games under second-year coach Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers blew a 17-point halftime lead in losing 34-31 in overtime at Colorado on Saturday. It was Nebraska’s biggest blown lead since the Bo Pelini-coached team squandered a 21-3 advantage in the second quarter against UCLA in 2013. Nebraska hosts Northern Illinois this weekend. The Huskies won in Lincoln in 2017.
