This news comes after a probe into allegations that he violated the league’s gambling policies for the second time. The first time was in 2021. Hernandez will be eligible for reinstatement on January 1, 2026 on application to the Commissioner’s office.

Sporting Kansas City made several key roster moves, declining contract options for Robert Castellanos, Ozzie Cisneros, Danny Flores, and Chris Rindov. Andreu Fontas plans to retire at 35, while Tim Melia, Johnny Russell, and Remi Walter are also departing. SKC is focusing on adding a “number 10” player for next season.
In a surprising I-35 matchup, Kansas defeated Iowa State, overcoming their weak season record with a dominant offensive performance. Kansas running back Devin Neal set two school records, while quarterback Jalon Daniels led multiple scoring drives, securing a decisive victory.
