Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have cut veteran cornerback Darrelle Revis, a move that was long expected with his pricy tag next season and the franchise’s tight salary cap situation this offseason. The team announced the move in a statement Thursday.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Matheny is well aware that he has yet to earn a World Series championship ring during his six seasons as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s not like St. Louis, an 11-time World Series champion, would let him forget.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — NASCAR says David Hyatt will replace Jimmy Small as the president of the Iowa Speedway. NASCAR, which owns the track in Newton, Iowa, says Small has accepted a new position as a senior director of international business development. Small will work out of the organization’s Los Angeles office. The Iowa track will host two NASCAR Xfinity races, a Camping World truck event and an IndyCar race this summer.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Zach Jackson scored 25 points, including the go-ahead bucket, and KJ Robinson added 18 points as Omaha came back to take down Western Illinois 71-68. Jackson’s floater gave the Mavericks (8-17, 3-6 Summit League) a 69-68 lead with 28.9 seconds left.
