As the Chiefs prep for their upcoming AFC West showdown against the Raiders, the team has more players to work with than any other point in the 2012 NFL season. Early season injuries have taken their toll from the outset, but some key players like Peyton Hillis and Glenn Dorsey seem likely to play on Sunday. At the very least, they are earning more practice time on Thursday.
"All the players are going to practice again today," said head coach Romeo Crennel on Thursday morning. "We are still looking at [Peyton] Hillis, [Glenn] Dorsey, [Steve] Maneri and [Devon] Wylie. We are encouraged by the work that they had on Wednesday, though. I hope they continue to improve."
Crennel also said that the Chiefs have looked good coming out of the bye week, which bodes well for their hopes and momentum heading into Sunday's game.
"I thought we had good work on Wednesday, so we made good progress in our preparations for the Raiders, and today we're going to add more and try to get better. That's been the focus." Source: SBNation.com Attached Thumbnails

With his team set to face the Raiders this weekend, Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali didn't mince words when describing how he thinks the team from Oakland plays football.
Crennel swaps signs in motivational ploy
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The last few weeks, there was a sign outside the Chiefs' locker room that read, "Eliminate Bad Football." It was taken down this week and a new sign went up Thursday.
This one reads, "Play Good Football."
"You noticed that one?" Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said blithely, when asked about the old sign. Then when told about the...

When Matt Cassel suffered a concussion in an ugly 9-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 5, it was obvious Brady Quinn would replace him until he was healthy.
But it was downright shocking to everyone when Romeo Crennel named Quinn the Chiefs' starter going forward once Cassel got healthy. So shocking, in fact, it even caught Quinn off guard.
"It was pretty surprising, to be...
