There is no guarantee Brandon Flowers will make his season debut Sunday at Buffalo, but there are signs that he will be on the field.
The Chiefs have listed Flowers as questionable to play Sunday after he practiced fully the past two days. Also, backup running back Jalil Brown is questionable with a groin injury,
Defensive tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle). Safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder), receiver Devon Wylie (hamstring) and defensive lineman Allen Bailey (ankle) have been ruled out.
However, if the Chiefs get Flowers back, it will be a big boost and head coach Romeo Crennel told reporters Friday that Flowers could be eased back into action.
I think that you have to kind of temper it and know that conditioning will be a factor, and if the guy is able to play, you may have to monitor his reps, Crennel said. Then, some of that will depend on how the game goes. Probably asking him to play 100 plays would not be the thing to do, but if you can mix in here and there and give him a break now and then, then maybe he can get through a game.
