JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — St. Louis shortstop Rafael Furcal and his injured elbow may not be ready for Saturday’s first game of spring training. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny insists that shouldn’t be much of a concern. Furcal is working his way back from a strained elbow ligament suffered near the end of last season. There was a concern that he’d have to undergo offseason Tommy John surgery, but Furcal chose to try rehab instead. A 13- year veteran, Furcal hit .264 in 121 games for the Cardinals last season, batting primarily in the leadoff spot.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have released wide receiver Steve Breaston and tight end Kevin Boss as part of their roster overhaul under new coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey. The team announced the moves Tuesday in a statement on its website. Breaston was lured to Kansas City in 2011 by former coach Todd Haley and general manager Scott Pioli, and signed a $22.5 million, five-year deal. But he fell out of favor last season under coach Romeo Crennel, catching seven passes for 74 yards in 10 games. Boss signed $9 million, three-year deal last offseason, but only had three catches for 65 yards before sustaining a season-ending concussion in Week 2 against Buffalo.
The location of the class 3-A boys district final basketball game Thursday, February 21st between Atlantic and Creston has been moved. The game will be played at ADM High School in Adel beginning at 7:00 pm. We will broadcast that game live for you on KJAN AM 1220, FM 101.1 and here on kjan.com!
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the game played at Atlantic High School.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have signed former Vikings safety Husain Abdullah, who gave up football last season to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, in an attempt to add depth to their defensive backfield. A practicing Muslim, Abdullah turned down a contract offer from Minnesota to speak at mosques across the country along with his brother, former Cardinals defensive back Hamza Abdullah. The two of them then journeyed to Saudi Arabia.
Abdullah entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2008. The former Washington State star made 24 starts in 54 games over the next four seasons for the Vikings, making 167 tackles and two sacks with four interceptions. He also was a contributor on special teams. The Chiefs have little depth behind starting safeties Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis.
A Council Bluffs man reportedly upset about the amount of playing time his son received on a basketball team, allegedly assaulted a youth basketball coach Saturday afternoon. Police officials told the Daily NonPareil, 33-year old Donald D. Hastie Jr., was cited for simple assault following the incident which took place at around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, at Thomas Jefferson High School. in Council Bluffs.
Officials say Hastie allegedly pushed 37-year old David Schmitt, of Council Bluffs, when a dispute arose over the lack of playing time Hastie’s son’s received. Authorities say Schmitt fell over some chairs and injured his hand and wrist.
