Chiefs could have Poe, Fisher back for season opener

Sports

September 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs could have Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dontari Poe and offensive tackle Eric Fisher back for their season opener Sunday in Houston.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey said Monday that both were progressing nicely from injuries. Poe had back surgery that kept him out all of training camp, and Fisher had a sprained ankle that kept him from playing the final three preseason games.

Reid also said that Fisher, the former No. 1 overall draft pick, would move from left tackle to right tackle. Donald Stephenson has been handling the quarterback’s blindside while Fisher has been out, and Reid has been pleased with the way he has performed.

News, Weather

September 7th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Another round of heavy rain could develop Monday night generating renewed concerns of flash flooding in the southern half of the state. The National Weather Service in Des Moines says many of the same areas that received heavy rain Sunday could be in the bullseye for another round Monday. A flash flood watch was in effect through Tuesday morning for a large portion of central and south-central Iowa.

Weather service forecaster says thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected between 9 p.m. Monday and 4 a.m. Tuesday. Rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour may be common with localized totals of 5 inches possible. With soil already saturated flash flooding could quickly develop. Some storms south of U.S. Highway 34 could produce hail and damaging wind.
