KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson?said he will have surgery to repair his torn left Achilles tendon with the expectation that he will return to play for Kansas City next season and perhaps beyond.Johnson suffered the injury in the second quarter of Thursday nights 21-13 win over the Oakland Raiders.A 12-year veteran, Johnson has two seasons remaining on his contract.?Yes, I will play again, he said.?Once the surgery is completed, Johnson said he intends to commit himself to helping the teams young linebackers prepare for the teams remaining games.My job now is to help us get a ring anyway possible, he said.Johnson said he has interest in becoming a coach when his playing career ends so he views this as an internship of sorts.Johnson missed most of the 2014 season because of a torn right Achilles.The Chiefs led 21-3 when Johnson went down Thursday, and his injury seemed to briefly deflate the Kansas City defense. Oakland proceeded to march 92 yards for its lone touchdown just before halftime.Johnson, a four-time Pro Bowler, threw his helmet in frustration after the injury. He had to be helped off the field without putting any weight on his foot, and the Chiefs immediately ruled him out for the game.A sad deal there, Reid said after the game. I felt a little bit of a letdown when it happened.Justin [Houston] and [Eric Berry] kind of got everybody going and reeled everybody in, Reid said. The thing they were saying is, thats the last thing that D.J. would want, is a letdown. Hes such a big part of our team.Johnson, who along with punter Dustin Colquitt is the longest-tenured Chiefs player, arrived in Kansas City as its first-round draft pick in 2005. He remains one of the Chiefs top defensive players, as he rarely comes off the field in running or passing situations.His backup is D.J. Alexander, a fifth-round draft pick last year.The Chiefs bounced back in the second half, limiting the Raiders to a field goal to preserve the win.Hes a guy I respect so much, and just to see the look on his face when it happened, it looked serious, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said Thursday. Theres not a guy in the locker room that doesnt look up to D.J., so yeah, in a big game like that, hats off to our defense for responding.Something like that can hurt you big time, and our guys didnt miss a beat.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. PHOENIX -- Anthony DeSclafani was in uncharted territory pitching in the ninth inning Saturday night, and he responded by going into attack mode.DeSclafani threw a four-hitter and Scott Schebler homered twice to lift the Cincinnati Reds over the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-0 on Saturday night.DeSclafani (8-2) had nine strikeouts and a walk, needing 108 pitches to throw the first complete game of his career. Hed never thrown a pitch in the ninth as a starter.In the ninth inning, you dont want to beat around the bush, he said. You just attack. I felt like I got that last out and I was still so focused, I didnt even realize it happened because I was so locked in.Joey Votto and Schebler homered during a four-run first inning and Schebler homered again during a five-run second, all against Zack Godley (4-3).Every pitch I threw, they hit. Chalk it up to a bad game, Godley said. I didnt let my defense do what they are out there for. I gave up too many fly balls and a couple of them went over the fence.Schebler had a career-high five RBI and three hits in the first multihomer game of his career.Zack Cozart hit his 16th homer in the fourth inning and Adam Duvall got his 29th homer in the eighth, both solo shots.DeSclafani has been outstanding since beginning the season on the disabled list with an oblique injury. He made his first start June 10 and began the year 6-0, and his ERA after Saturdays gem is 2.96. He twice went eight innings earlier this season.The ninth inning and him (DeSclafani) closing it out was great, Reds manager Bryan Price said. We didnt need him to do that, but it was a great opportunity for him to throw his first complete game and his first shutout.It was one of those things where you need to be rewarded for a job well done, Price added.Brandon Phillips went 3 for 4 with two RBI for Cincinnati.ddddddddddddDiamondbacks reliever Vicente Campos made his major league debut and allowed two runs and four hits over 5 2/3 innings.All my career I have been a starter, so it is not really a big deal going more than five innings, Campos said through an interpreter.Stars for both teams were subbed out long before the game ended. Votto and the Diamondbacks Paul Goldschmidt each played six innings.ALUMNI ACTIONThe Diamondbacks held their annual alumni game earlier Saturday between former players wearing throwback red and purple jerseys. The starting pitchers were Rodrigo Lopez, now a broadcaster, and Elmer Dessens.Reggie Sanders tripled in Alex Cintron and Willie Bloomquist doubled in a run for the red team, but Andy Stankiewicz and former pitcher Stephen Randolph each doubled in two runs off J.J. Putz to lead the purple team to a 5-2 win in the three-inning game.ROSTER MOVEThe Reds purchased the contract of catcher Raffy Lopez from Triple-A Louisville. Infielder Tony Renda, who pinch-hit Friday night, was optioned to Louisville.TRAINERS ROOMReds: C Tucker Barnhart remained out with a right hand injury. Ramon Cabrera filled in at catcher for the second straight night.Diamondbacks: 2B Jean Segura left after two innings due to illness. Segura walked to lead off the first but was replaced by Brandon Drury at second base to begin the third.UP NEXTReds: RHP Homer Bailey (2-2) starts against Arizona on Sunday. Itll be his first career start at Chase Field. Bailey has at least one win against every NL team except Arizona.Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (4-8) lost to the Reds on July 22 in his only other career start against them. ' ' '
