KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs could be forced to rest a handful of players in their exhibition opener Saturday night in Arizona because of nagging injuries picked up during training camp.
Linebacker is the position where they are most banged up. Former first-round pick Dee Ford is still out from a concussion, Josh Mauga left practice Wednesday with a bum heel, D.J. Alexander is hobbled by an ankle injury and James-Michael Johnson by a calf injury.
That means rookies Ramik Wilson and Justin March could get considerable time.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid plans to play starters in the first quarter, the second unit in the second quarter and into the third, with the rest of the reserves finishing the game.
Jeremy Maclin says he hopes to play after missing two practices this week with a neck strain. Fellow wide receiver Albert Wilson is also questionable with an illness.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Two Iowa residents will spend decades in prison for forcing a young woman into prostitution and torturing her. Aldair Hodza was sentenced to 41 years and eight months Friday in federal court in Richmond. Laura Sorensen was sentenced to 40 years. The Clive residents held a 20-year-old woman captive on a trip to Virginia and forced her to have sex with men who answered online ads. They burned the woman with lit cigarettes and other heated objects, drove nails into her feet and poured bleach into her wounds.
Defense attorneys and prosecutors are recommending prison terms of 35 years – 11 more than the top end of the sentencing guideline range. But U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson said that wasn’t enough, citing the “unprecedented depravity” in the case.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Officials say most of the Council Bluffs rental units inspected during the first week of a new city program had violations. Steve Carmichael is the city’s chief building official, and he told The Daily Nonpareil that he was surprised by the inspections results, because landlords had months to prepare.
Carmichael says that of the 82 single-family units inspected, 92 percent had violations. Most of them were electrical violations. The policy of city employees inspecting rental units began Aug. 3, replacing the longtime self-inspection program. Mayor Matt Walsh says he thinks the landlords “are working with the city, and we appreciate that very much.”
