LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas has dismissed cornerback Eric Rivers and suspended linebacker Kendall Duckworth after both were arrested early Monday in connection with an alleged robbery over the weekend.

Rivers has also been accused of sexual battery and criminal restraint in a separate incident.

Jayhawks coach David Beatty said in a statement that he is still gathering information related to the cases. But he told the Lawrence Journal-World that Rivers is no longer with the team.

Duckworth, a 6-foot-1 linebacker from Naples, Florida, made three tackles in seven games in his freshman season. Rivers, a 5-9 cornerback from Arlington, Texas, redshirted last season.
