KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against Baltimore and is unlikely to play in next weekend’s game at Tampa Bay. Cassel was hit by the Ravens’ Haloti Ngata while completing a pass to Jamaal Charles in the Chiefs’ 9-6 loss. He remained on the ground for several minutes before walking off the field. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said Monday he’s not yet ruling Cassel out against the Buccaneers, but he also said that the quarterback’s health is of paramount importance. Crennel said that Brady Quinn will prepare to start next Sunday’s game. Ricky Stanzi would be the backup quarterback.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carlos Beltran hit the last two of St. Louis’ four homers and the Cardinals chased an ineffective Jordan Zimmermann early in a 12-4 rout of the Washington Nationals on Monday night that tied their NL division series at one game apiece Allen Craig and Daniel Descalso also went deep to help the Cardinals build a big lead and compensate for a two-inning start from Jaime Garcia. Craig hit his fifth career postseason homer and scored three times. Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche hit consecutive homers in the fifth inning for the Nationals, who won’t pitch All-Star ace Stephen Strasburg — shut down for the year early last month.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are rested and say they eager to resume their season. Coaches and players reconvened Monday following a bye week that provided extra time to evaluate the team’s progress after a slow start through four games, focus on fundamentals in practice and make some adjustments that Greg Schiano hopes will be beneficial the final 12 weeks of the season. The Bucs (1-3) will try to snap a three-game losing streak when they host the struggling Kansas City Chiefs (1-4) Sunday.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Senior Steele Jantz is the most dynamic choice Iowa State has at quarterback. Jared Barnett is probably the safest one. But the safe bet was certainly dynamic in his first start of 2012 and coach Paul Rhoads is sticking with Barnett for Saturday’s game against No. 6 Kansas State (5-0, 2-0 Big 12). Rhoads benched Jantz in favor of Barnett for last Saturday’s game at TCU. Barnett came through with three touchdown passes to senior Josh Lenz as Iowa State (4-1, 1-1) beat the Horned Frogs 37-23. If Barnett can play as well as he did at TCU for the rest of the season, Rhoads will keep starting him.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Drake’s Mark Phelps has what every coach in the country wants: five returning starters. But Phelps also enters his fifth season with the Bulldogs trying to replace perhaps the best starter he had. Drake suffered a major blow in the offseason when Rayvonte Rice, a guard who averaged nearly 17 points a game in 2011-12, announced he was transferring. Rice eventually landed at Illinois. Phelps will attempt to replace him with more production from five players coming back and the eight new guys. The Bulldogs, who are 62-69 in four seasons under Phelps after winning the Missouri Valley in 2007-08, open at Detroit on Nov. 17.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa senior cornerback Micah Hyde is listed as a starter for Saturday’s game at Michigan State despite being arrested over the weekend. The 21-year-old Hyde was booked early Saturday morning at an Iowa City bar on suspicion of public intoxication and interference with official acts. Tight end Ray Hamilton and offensive lineman Drew Clark were also arrested in separate alcohol-related incidents, which came during the team’s bye week.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement released Saturday that he was disappointed because all three players have been “good citizens” during their time in our program. Ferentz said the Hawkeyes will follow protocol set by the school’s student-athlete code of conduct and take additional measures internally. Hamilton is also listed on this week’s depth chart as a backup.
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the game played in Perry.
