Chiefs waive wide receiver Armon Binns in series of moves

Sports

August 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have waived wide receiver Armon Binns and linebacker Sage Harold and signed offensive tackle Anthony Dima and wide receiver Adam Drake in a series of moves Saturday. Binns had not been practicing after hurting his knee earlier in training camp. Harold was considered a longshot to make the roster at linebacker.

Dima signed with the Cleveland Browns after going undrafted last year, and also has spent time with the Houston Texans. Drake led the Football Championship Subdivision in yards receiving last season at Eastern Illinois with 93 catches for 1,321 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Iowa turns to CJ Beathard at quarterback

Sports

August 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — In two seasons as Iowa’s backup quarterback, C.J. Beathard was one of the most popular players on the roster. Now it’s up to Beathard to live up to outsized expectations. Beathard, a redshirt junior nicknamed “Sunshine” by his teammates, was promoted to the starting role following a brutal loss to Tennessee in January’s TaxSlayer Bowl.

The move convinced former starter Jake Rudock to leave for Michigan and potentially left Beathard and the Hawkeyes in a tough spot. If Beathard can’t come through in 2015, it’s tough to see Iowa improving on a tepid 7-6 finish in 2015.

Beathard is the only quarterback with any experience for the Hawkeyes, who open against Illinois State on Sept. 5.
