Chiefs GM Dorsey thinks LB Houston will play this season

Sports

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs general manager John Dorsey expects Pro Bowl pass rusher Justin Houston to play this season, even though surgery to repair his torn ACL could take up to 12 months of recovery time. Dorsey made the prediction during a news conference Friday to discuss the NFL draft.

Houston hurt his left knee during a game against Buffalo midway through last season, and at the time it was thought to be a hyperextension. He returned to play sparingly in the playoffs, and an arthroscopic procedure after the season revealed his ligament was not functioning properly.

Houston had surgery to repair the ACL in February, and Dorsey said that he’s “ahead of schedule” in his recovery. But he declined to say when Houston will be able to play next season.

Myers has 3 hits, 3 RBIs lead Padres to 4-1 win vs Cardinals

Sports

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Wil Myers had a solo homer among his three hits and drove in three runs, and Andrew Cashner threw six strong innings to pitch the San Diego Padres to a 4-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. The Padres have won four of six games. Myers homer to right-center off Adam Wainwright with one out in the first was estimated at 418 feet.

Myers hit a sacrifice fly in the third to score Cashner (1-1), who beat out a leadoff bunt single and advanced to third on Jon Jay’s single to right. Myers’ third hit was an RBI double in the seventh. Cashner’s only mistake was allowing Randal Grichuk’s homer to left-center with two outs in the fourth, his third. He allowed one run and three hits while striking out four and walking one.

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his third save.
