EAST LANSING, Mich. -- As a disappointing season winds down, Michigan State could use a few signs of hope for the future.Freshman Donnie Corley certainly qualifies.Corley has emerged as a two-way contributor for the Spartans, playing both wide receiver and defensive back in his first season at the college level. It may be too late for Michigan State to salvage much from the 2016 season, but Corley looks like someone who could make a major impact at the school in the years to come.Our idea is to make sure that he is thoroughly exhausted at the end of the football game, coach Mark Dantonio said. Thats the plan.Its no huge surprise that Corley has been able to play right away. Both Rivals and Scout listed him as a four-star recruit, and as a senior at Martin Luther King H.S. in Detroit, Corley had 59 receptions and 10 interceptions.The Spartans (3-7, 1-6, Big Ten) needed to replace several key players from last year, and Corley immediately made his presence felt. In Michigan States second game of the season at Notre Dame, he caught four passes for 88 yards, including a leaping touchdown grab that turned out to be one of the highlights of the season for the Spartans.Corley is now third on the team with 27 receptions, and hes been able to help the defensive backfield as well.We recruited Donnie with the idea that he could play both, and we want to make that happen. Hes skilled enough to do that, Dantonio said. Hes a big athletic guy with ball judgment, he can tackle in space.Part of the reason Corley has played on defense is because the Spartans needed help in the secondary, but his ability to juggle multiple roles as a freshman has been impressive.Its been kind of hard. During the game, adjustments they make on the sidelines, I cant really be there, Corley said. Im over here with the defense while the offense is making adjustments on the sideline. Things like that, its kind of hard.The Spartans would be delighted if Corley can develop into the type of two-way threat who make a game-changing play at any time -- like rival Michigan has with Jabrill Peppers. With Michigan State set to host No. 2 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1) this weekend, Dantonio talked a bit Tuesday about the way Chris Gamble used to play both ways for the Buckeyes.Dantonio coached Gamble when he was an assistant at Ohio State over a decade ago.He played six games, I think, where he played over 100 plays. So its doable, Dantonio said. But, you know, whether we get to that extent or not will depend on other people and other personnel, recruiting, and how people and players develop and those type of things.Corley is starting down the path toward becoming a dynamic two-way star, and the experience hes gaining as a freshman could pay major dividends as Michigan State tries to rebound from a season in which little has gone right.Coach D always used to tell (me), `You might play both ways, Corley said. But he always told me that offense would probably be the first thing, then once I learned it, he would try and switch it. I didnt really think that I would learn it that fast and that it would happen that fast. I didnt think it would happen in the first year.Game notes Dantonio said injured DL Malik McDowells status remains uncertain this week. He missed last weekends win over Rutgers.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerNFL Jerseys Outlet . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware has been ruled out of Sundays game against Jacksonville with a concussion, though wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and defensive tackle Jaye Howard will be available.Maclin returned to practice Friday after tweaking his hamstring earlier in the week, while Howard was back after dealing with a hip injury he suffered last weekend against Indianapolis.Alex Smith had already been ruled out with a head injury. Nick Foles will start at quarterback.Others who have been ruled out include offensive lineman Parker Ehinger, who has a knee injury that could be season ending, and cornerback D.J. White, who is recovering from a fractured hand.Offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz, who was dealing with a sore ankle, and linebacker Derrick Johnson, who missed time with a sore hamstring, practiced Friday and will be available against the Jaguars.Ware is a substantial loss for the Chiefs (5-2), though, not only because hes having a breakthrough season but also because Jamaal Charles has been placed on injured reserve after having his meniscus repaired.Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Friday hes unsure whether Charles will be back this season.I havvent even got that far, he said.dddddddddddd I cant tell you that.The Chiefs will face the Jaguars with Charcandrick West getting the bulk of the carries, and Bishop Sankey spelling him -- despite only signing with Kansas City this week. The 2014 second-round draft pick of Tennessee had been on the Patriots practice squad before getting the call.Reid is confident Sankey knows enough of the offense to help out Sunday.He had a lot thrown at him. It was like learning French overnight, Reid said. Its a tough deal but he hung in there and I thought he did a respectable job.The Chiefs could have brought up Darrin Reaves from the practice squad, but he tweaked a groin muscle before they were able to make the move. Reaves was with the team all through training camp, had a couple of solid preseason games, and would have offered a much better grasp of the offense.It was bad timing, Reid said, because hes a pretty good little player. He tweaked that thing, so we didnt have an opportunity to bring him up.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
