The way I saw it, first-year head coaches Tom Cable and Todd Haley were each in desperate need of a win in Week 2 following tough losses the previous week. Turnovers proved to be the difference in the Raiders’ win.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel, who suffered a sprained left knee during the preseason and missed Week 1, is active for the Chiefs today against the Oakland Raiders.

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel will be a game-time decision for the second consecutive week. Cassel, who’s nursing a sprained left knee, is officially listed as questionable for the Chiefs’ matchup with the AFC West rival Raiders.

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

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel was limited in practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, but there’s still no indication from coach Todd Haley on the quarterback’s status.

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.

Despite proclaiming that his sprained left knee “feels pretty good” earlier this week, QB Matt Cassel will likely be a game-time decision against the Ravens on Sunday.

I went through a few hot topics in Tuesday’s Around the League segment with Rich Eisen on Total Access, including the status of Chiefs QB Matt Cassel.

We’re all excited for the games to finally begin. Plenty of reasons to keep an eye on each offering.

No shortage of experienced (and not so experienced) quarterbacks available, and plenty of teams in need.

Matt Cassel is hurt. The offensive coordinator has been dismissed. The wide receiver corps is in shambles. No wonder there’s not one member of the Chiefs not named Dwayne Bowe that I’d want on my fantasy team.

I started this series on no-win situations with WR Roy Williams, who finds himself in the middle of the soap opera in Dallas. Now I’m adding Kyle Orton to the list. It’s easy to say, if they produce at an incredibly high level there won’t be a problem. Well, we have a problem, because in both situations Pro Bowl play is the bar.

The Jacksonville Jaguars remain interested in acquiring Kansas City quarterback Tyler Thigpen, and the Chiefs are certainly open to trading him. That mutual interest has not cooled and sources close to the situation maintain this trade could still occur.

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.
