KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have waived defensive back Justin Cox, who was charged with domestic assault, burglary and trespassing for an incident that occurred Monday in Starkville, Mississippi. Cox was being held on $40,433 bond. The case is still under investigation.

This is the second time in the past year that Cox has been arrested for an incidence of domestic violence, though the previous charge was ultimately dropped. Cox instead pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing in January. Cox signed with the Chiefs after going undrafted out of Mississippi State, in part because of his off-the-field issues. He was suspended the final three games last year after his arrest.

DALLAS (AP) — Iowa State defensive lineman Mitchell Meyers is close to wrapping up chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a process during which he didn’t miss any summer workouts with his teammates. Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads said Tuesday that Meyers has his last scheduled chemo appointment Friday in Iowa.

Rhoads said Mitchell, who is from the Houston area, will then return to Texas for radiation treatment before rejoining the team in September. Iowa State announced in February that Meyers had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was beginning treatment.

Rhoads said prayers are still extended for Mitchell and his family, and that the team watches “in admiration and appreciation each and every single day.” Mitchell, listed at 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, was one of only four ISU players to start every game last season.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Steve Prohm inherited more than just a talented team when he accepted the Iowa State job. He also took over a group whose personality had already been forged through years of shared experiences — good and bad. Prohm and the Cyclones are about to truly get to know one another.

Iowa State opened practice Monday in preparation for a four-game trip to Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid early next month. Prohm says the trip is “not really about winning games and playing. It’s about the time together, the camaraderie.”

The Cyclones, who won 25 games and the Big 12 tournament last season, open the 2015-16 on Nov. 13 against Colorado in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The NCAA allows teams to make one trip overseas every four years.

The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding the annual Road Race during
AtlanticFest Saturday, August 8th. The Road Race is available to all ages and offers a

Road Race Participants have been requesting chip timing for several years and
Chamber officials say they are excited to be able to offer it all the runners, along with a new route. The pre-registration deadline has been extended to Wednesday, July 22nd, 2015. All pre-registered runners and walkers will receive a high performance t- shirt and runners swag bag, including a water bottle.
