Roethlisberger upgraded for Steelers ahead of Chiefs game

Sports

October 24th, 2015 by admin

Pittsburgh (AP)- Pittsburgh has listed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as questionable for Sunday’s game at Kansas City. He was a limited participant in practice for a third straight day while continuing to recover from a strained ligament in his left knee in a game with St. Louis Sept. 27. Landry Jones will start if Roethlisberger doesn’t return.

Royals return to World Series, beat Blue Jays in ALCS Game 6

Sports

October 24th, 2015 by admin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Lorenzo Cain sprinted home from first base on Eric Hosmer’s single in the eighth inning, Wade Davis weathered a 45-minute rain delay and a white-knuckle ninth, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Friday night to earn their second straight trip to the World Series.

The victory in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series sent the Royals into the World Series, starting Tuesday night at home against the New York Mets.

After the delay, Cain promptly worked a leadoff walk from closer Roberto Osuna, and Hosmer followed with a clean single that Bautista fielded down the right-field line.

Rather than hit the cutoff man, though, Bautista threw to second to keep Hosmer to a single. That gave the speedy Cain, running full speed the entire way, enough time to beat the relay throw from second base with a textbook slide that ignited a sellout crowd.

Davis retired Josh Donaldson on a grounder with runners on second and third to end it.

Chiefs’ Maclin clears concussion test, returns to practice

Sports

October 24th, 2015 by admin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has passed the league’s concussion protocol and should be available for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Maclin was hurt in last week’s loss in Minnesota. He did not work out early in the week while undergoing tests, but returned to practice Friday on a limited basis.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Maclin “has passed everything. We just have to see tomorrow how he feels. But he did, he went through practice today and did a nice job with it.”

Maclin is the Chiefs’ leading receiver with 39 catches for 531 yards and a touchdown. No other wide receiver on the roster has more than eight receptions.
