Chiefs coach Todd Haley confirmed Matt Cassel will be back as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback next week.

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel didn’t get it done Sunday against the Broncos, and as a result his day ended early.

Some 0-2 teams are in a lot better shape than others, at least in part because they know who they want to be, and what they do best.

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel’s playing status will be a game-time decision for the second consecutive week, coach Todd Haley said.

Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe remains a must-start, but Texans WR Kevin Walter is inactive today.

The Chiefs official Web site is reporting that Matt Cassel is inactive for Sunday’s game at Baltimore. The Chiefs will now lean on either Brodie Croyle or Tyler Thigpen to start.

Should a team offer a mid-round draft pick for the backup quarterback, what the Chiefs are seeking, they just might get themselves a steal.

The Chiefs are willing to deal backup QB Tyler Thigpen to the Jaguars, but the teams haven’t been able to agree on draft-pick compensation.

The Chiefs started the season looking for the quarterback of their future. Only, they thought it was Brodie Croyle, not Tyler Thigpen. Now, the Chiefs have a couple of questions to answer in the future. Is Thigpen and the spread offense a part of the future? Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star asks that question.

The knee injury that knocked Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle from Sunday’s loss to the Titans will also end his season.

Brodie Croyle left the Titans-Chiefs game with a sprained knee. Damon Huard steps in and will be the starter in his absence. That might actually be good news for fantasy owners who have Dwayne Bowe and Tony Gonzalez.

Lost in the shuffle of the non-trade of TE Tony Gonzalez in Kansas City this week is the pending return of starting QB Brodie Croyle for the Chiefs.

Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said during his press conference Thursday that rookie starting LT Brandon Albert will not play against the Panthers Sunday due to his right elbow injury.

The injury that forced Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle out of Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Patriots is being called a “shoulder contusion.”

Kansas City Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle left Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots late in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury, and was replaced by Damon Huard.
