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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs could have starting offensive linemen Mitch Morse and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and cornerback Steven Nelson back from injury this week. Morse has been out with a foot injury and Duvernay-Tardif has been sidelined by a knee injury. Nelson has been on injured reserve with a core muscle injury since training camp.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jets linebacker Darron Lee was fined $36,464 by the NFL for a roughing the passer penalty and another $9,115 for a facemask call in New York’s loss at Miami last Sunday. Lee, in his second season, has been fined four times this year for a total of $72,925. Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict added to his lengthy list of infractions, receiving a fine of $12,154 for kicking at Pittsburgh fullback Roosevelt Nix.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Broncos figure they can turn around their fortunes if they can get their quarterback to get rid of the ball faster and force opposing quarterbacks to hold onto it a little longer. The Broncos have been mired in a monthlong slump in large part because they’ve had a dozen turnovers and just four takeaways. Up next are the Chiefs. They have just one turnover so far.

POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. (AP) — The NAIA has agreed to move its Division II men’s basketball tournament from a private Missouri college because of the school’s stance on the national anthem. The College of the Ozarks asked for the tournament to be moved because the NAIA had refused its request to require players to stand during the national anthem and would not plan a forum to discuss the issue before the tournament began.

DALLAS (AP) — Rob Gronkowski of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots has been voted the top tight end in the NFL by an Associated Press panel. The three-time All-Pro received 10 of 11 first-place votes and 109 of a possible 110 points. The voting was done by Hall of Fame receiver James Lofton and 10 AP football writers. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce was second on eight of the ballots and got the other first-place tally while finishing with 98 points.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State’s program reboot a few years ago left a trio of juniors to provide the foundation this season. Barry Brown, Dean Wade and Kamau Stokes should have plenty of help, with holdovers such as Xavier Sneed and newcomers such as Mawdo Sallah in the mix. The goal is to build on last year’s NCAA Tournament appearance.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is eyeing its 14th consecutive Big 12 title and another NCAA Tournament run with a new cast of characters. The Jayhawks have to replace national player of the year Frank Mason III and fourth-overall draft pick Josh Jackson. Veterans such as Devonte Graham and Lagerald Vick should combine with newcomer Malik Newman and freshman Billy Preston to form a group that is once again favored to win the league.

Atlantic Basketball Alum Ryan Hawkins scored his first career points on Friday night for Northwest Missouri State. His first bucket…a three from the corner at Cameron Indoor against the Duke Blue Devils in an exhibition game.

Northwest Missouri State traveled to Durham,  NC for the game and came out on the short end of a 93-60 final score.

Hawkins lead the team with 14 points on 5-7 shooting, including 4-6 from three point range. Hawkins red-shirted  last season during the Bearcats Division II National Championship run.
