Chiefs QB Cassel still questionable for first game

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel reportedly practiced for the second time this week (while wearing a knee brace) but is still questionable for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The official Chiefs injury report says Cassel had “limited participation in practice.”

The unofficial depth chart, released September 7, lists Cassel as the No. 1 guy, but Coach Todd Haley’s comments in the AP sounded more iffy.

“He was out there, which was good. That’s better than not being out there,” Haley said. “He was able to get through some [drills], so that’s going to be a situation we’ll monitor as the week goes on. I don’t know that we’re going to have an answer right up until we play.”

If Cassel isn’t 100 percent, risking him against the vaunted Ravens defense in week one wouldn’t be the best move. Then again, you’d only be risking a $28 million man.
