After practice on Thursday, Chiefs head coach Todd Haley remained non-committal to quarterback Matt Cassel’s prospects of starting Sunday’s season opener against Baltimore. “This is going to be a full week of evaluation. It will probably come down to the wire.”
Reports from practice were that Cassel was noticeably limping during two minute drills as he tried to keep up with the offense on the field. After practice, when asked about his knee Cassel said "It's doing well. I'm making a lot of progress. It's one of those things that heals more each and every day."
Cassel said the decision to play won't be his. "We come together and collaborate. If we say that I'm ready to go, I will be out there on Sunday." Expectations all week in the media have been that he will play, but if his mobility is in serious question come game time, the Chiefs would be fools to run him out on the field in the first game.
