KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have been having enough problems moving the ball through the air with their best wide receiver getting the most attention from opposing defenses. Imagine the difficulty they’ll have on Sunday against Oakland. The Chiefs will be without Dwayne Bowe for the immediate future, and perhaps the rest of the season, because of a ribs injury he sustained last Sunday against Cleveland. That means a group of wide receivers who have been unproductive at best will need to step up their game.
Former first-round pick Jon Baldwin still has not made an impact in the NFL, and veteran Steve Breaston hasn’t even been active the last several games, creating more underlying tension in an organization that has dealt with plenty of problems this season.

Young, a senior at Griswold High School, has run on the Lady Tigers cross-country team since her freshman year. She qualified for three teams. An injury side-lined the stand-out runner her entire sophomore season.
In addition, Young earned Western Iowa Conference Academic All-Conference honors. Joining her as WIC academic honorees were teammates Jordyn Sindt, Larissa Backhaus, Serena Robinette, Xavier Olivo, Mason Anstey, Joe Sampson, and Dillon Bechtol.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired infielder-outfielder Skip Schumaker from St. Louis for minor league infielder Jake Lemmerman on Wednesday. Schumaker hit .288 with 23 home runs and 211 RBIs in 810 games from 2005-12 with the Cardinals, where he had spent his entire career. The left-handed hitter has a .305 career batting average against right-handers.
The 32-year-old Schumaker, from Torrance, Calif., has split time between second base (412 games) and the outfield (389 games) in his career, appearing at all three outfield positions. Last season, he played 61 games at second base, 15 games in center field, 10 games in right field, and one game in left field. He played for the Cardinals’ winning World Series teams in 2006 and 2011. The 23-year-old Lemmerman batted .233 with seven home runs and 46 RBIs in 116 games with Double-A Chattanooga last season.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles is carrying the football these days with a heavy heart. The Chiefs’ running back was friends with linebacker Jovan Belcher, and helped introduce Belcher to his wife Tiffany’s cousin, Kasandra Perkins. Two weeks ago Saturday, Belcher fatally shot Perkins and then killed himself. Charles hasn’t spoken publicly since the incident, but he’s still turning out big performances on the field. He leads the AFC with 1,220 yards rushing, and his four carries of 40-plus yards this season are tied for second-most in the NFL.That makes Charles a bright spot in a bleak season for the 2-11 Chiefs, who play at Oakland this weekend.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Freshman Mike Gesell was Iowa’s future point guard long before he joined the Hawkeyes. Yet just seven games into what many thought would be a four-year stint, Gesell has moved over in favor of Anthony Clemmons, a fellow freshman. Clemmons has been a revelation as the primary ball handler for the Hawkeyes (8-2).
Clemmons has 21 assists against just two turnovers in three starts, all wins. Clemmons will again start alongside Gesell, for now a shooting guard, when Iowa plays Northern Iowa (6-3) on Saturday in Des Moines in the inaugural Big 4 Classic.
ROME, Ga. (AP) — There’s a new look to the NAIA championship. Morningside, of Iowa, and Marian, of Indiana, will both be playing in the title game for the first time when they face off Thursday night in north Georgia.
Marian founded its football program just six years ago and has reached the NAIA playoffs three times. Now, the Knights are just one victory away from winning it all. Coach Ted Karras Junior says his players have shown “a sense of urgency since we started the program, and this year it came together.”
Morningside (13-0) knocked off defending national champion Saint Xavier of Illinois 47-19 in the semifinals. Perennial power Carroll (Mont.) had appeared in eight of the last 10 championship games — winning six times — but failed to make the playoffs this season.
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the game played at Atlantic High School.
