Hill's playing status remains unknown

- From Wire reports

Chiefs receiver and former Oklahoma State standout

Tyreek Hill returned to Kansas City from Jacksonvil­le on Monday but his playing status isn't known, coach

Andy Reid said.

Hill was carted off the field late in the first quarter of Sunday's 40-26 Chiefs victory over the Jaguars. He had been tackled by Jags cornerback Jalen Ramsey after an 8-yard reception. Ramsey landed his body weight on Hill.

Hill was taken to Baptist Medical Center. Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Hill sustained a “sternoclav­icular joint injury” and the purpose of the hospital visit was to reduce the dislocatio­n of the injury.

Swann resigns as USC athletic director

Southern California athletic director Lynn Swann has resigned after three years on the job at his alma mater.

USC President Carol Folt announced the decision in a letter Monday.

Dave Roberts will serve as interim athletic director. He is a special adviser to Folt.

Swann, 67, was hired in 2016 despite no significan­t experience in athletic administra­tion. The Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver spent nine years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

USC's athletic department has f aced several setbacks during Swann's stay, notably involvemen­t in the widespread college admissions scandal and the college basketball corruption scandal.

Swann also soured many USC fans by backing football coach Clay Helton, who was retained after the Trojans went 5-7 last season.

RED SOX: Dave Dombrowski was fired as Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations shortly after midnight Monday, less than a year after winning the World Series and setting a team record for victories. In three years, he took the club from back-to-back last-place finishes to three straight AL East titles. The news was first announced after a 10-5 loss to the Yankees while most of the city's attention was focused on the New England Patriots' season- opening victory over Pittsburgh and the unveiling of a sixth Super Bowl banner.

WNBA: The Indiana Fever fired coach and general manager Pokey Chatman on Monday, a day after the team finished with a third straight losing season. Chatman took over in 2017 and had a 28-74 record. She had spent the previous six years coaching the Chicago Sky, where she had a 106-98 record.

RAIDERS: The Oakland Raiders have brought back undrafted rookie receiver

Keelan Doss to fill the spot on the roster created after

Antonio Brown's release. Doss was signed off Jacksonvil­le's practice squad on Monday, just hours before the Raiders played their season opener against Denver.

REDSKINS: Redskins running back Derrius Guice was being evaluated for a possible right knee injury, though it is unclear exactly how serious that ailment may be. Two people with knowledge of the situation said the injury could keep Guice out for multiple games.

ORTIZ: Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz threw out the first pitch before Monday night's game against the New York Yankees. It was his first public appearance since June, when he was shot and seriously injured in his native Dominican Republic. Red Sox and Yankees players stood near their dugouts and applauded as Ortiz was introduced. The fans gave him a rousing ovation as he bounded up the steps of the dugout with no apparent effects from the June 9 assassinat­ion attempt in a Santo Domingo nightclub. Ortiz took a microphone on the pitcher's mound and thanked Red Sox fans for their prayers and support.
