KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs running back Spencer Ware could require season-ending surgery after tearing one ligament in his right knee and damaging another during Friday night’s preseason game in Seattle.

Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Sunday that Ware tore the posterior cruciate ligament, an injury that itself is not always season-ending. But Burkholder said Ware also damaged the lateral collateral ligament.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – The New York Jets have claimed defensive end Kony Ealy off waivers from the New England Patriots.

HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers won’t travel to Houston as planned after their games in California because of torrential floodwaters that have engulfed the city in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
