New Chiefs linebacker Ragland could fit into mix soon

Sports

August 30th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Former Alabama standout Reggie Ragland reported to the Chiefs but was not on the practice field Tuesday, one day after the Buffalo Bills shipped the linebacker to Kansas City for a fourth-round draft pick.

Ragland was injured all of last season and had fallen out of favor in Buffalo, which is in the midst of switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense. The Chiefs play a 3-4 similar to what the Bills ran with Rex Ryan when they chose Ragland in the second round of the 2016 draft.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid would not say when he expects Ragland to make it on the field. The Chiefs play their preseason finale Thursday night against Tennessee. Reid did say that kicker Cairo Santos, who has missed most of training camp with a groin injury, could try field goals against the Titans. But backup Sam Ficken would continue to handle kickoffs.

Matt Carpenter homers, Cardinals beat up on Brewers 10-2

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Matt Carpenter hit a two-run homer and Luke Voit drove in four runs, backing Luke Weaver’s 10-strikeout night in a 10-2 win Tuesday over the Milwaukee Brewers. Carpenter’s shot to right in the fifth had added importance for the third baseman after he had pledged $10,000 for every home run that he hit the rest of the season to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The Galveston, Texas native looked up and pointed two fingers toward the night sky as he touched the plate to extend the Cardinals’ lead to 9-1.

St. Louis chased Matt Garza (6-8) with one out in the fourth. The right-hander walked five and allowed six runs, though only three were earned after the Brewers committed two errors in the third.

The loss dropped the second-place Brewers to 3 1/2 games back of the NL Central-leading Cubs, who won on Tuesday.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:00 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says she will announce in September whether she’ll need to call a special session to address a budget shortfall. The Republican governor told reporters Tuesday she is still reviewing financial information for the budget year that ended in June. The nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency said this summer that Iowa’s roughly $7.2 billion budget was facing a revenue shortfall of about $100 million. The agency warned the figure could fluctuate.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says the state agency that advocates for the elderly and disabled will review its budget in an effort to avoid some cuts to staff visits at facilities like nursing homes, but she didn’t offer specifics. The Republican governor told reporters Tuesday her office is communicating with the office of the Iowa Long-Term Care Ombudsman to review options. The ombudsman’s office says reductions to its budget would limit staff travel to facilities like nursing homes.

VERSAILLES, Mo. (AP) — The father of a 20-year-old man who drowned in a Missouri lake while he was handcuffed will be able to attend the sentencing of a highway patrol trooper involved in the case. Craig Ellingson, the father of Brandon Ellingson, of Clive, Iowa, was concerned last week that a judge’s schedule would prevent him from speaking at the sentencing for Trooper Anthony Piercy. The hearing has been rescheduled for Sept. 19, which will allow Ellingson to attend.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man has been found guilty of a lesser charge in the 2015 shooting death of a Waterloo resident. Prosecutors had charged 39-year-old Steve Fordyce, of Denver, Iowa, with first-degree murder for the August 2015 death of 43-year-old Donald Harrington. The Courier reports that a bench trial was held earlier this month, and on Tuesday, District Judge David Odekirk in Black Hawk County found Fordyce guilty of voluntary manslaughter.

Father will be able to attend Missouri trooper’s sentencing

VERSAILLES, Mo. (AP) — The father of a 20-year-old man who drowned in a Missouri lake while he was handcuffed will be able to attend the sentencing of a highway patrol trooper involved in the case.

Craig Ellingson, the father of Brandon Ellingson, of Clive, Iowa, was concerned last week that a judge’s schedule would prevent him from speaking at the sentencing for Trooper Anthony Piercy. The Kansas City Star reports a judge rescheduled the hearing for Sept. 19 in Versailles, Missouri, which will allow Ellingson to attend.

Piercy avoided an involuntary manslaughter trial by pleading guilty in June to the misdemeanor boating violation. In May 2014, Piercy pulled Brandon Ellingson over on the Lake of the Ozarks. Ellingson drowned after he was thrown from the boat while wearing an improperly secured life vest.
