Accuscore predicted last week, if LJ could get over 70 yards rushing the Chiefs would have a 66% chance of winning the game against the Cowboys. He did not.

Sure he has a few overthrows, but overall he looks good. He is cool under pressure. He is a competitor.

Is this a charade or the truth? If it is not a charade, Brodie Croyle played decently against the Ravens last week. So that begs the question: do you sit Cassel one more week, knowing that Brodie played much better [...] Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:16:27 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Questioning_Cassels_Questionable_Status/1183021 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Questioning_Cassels_Questionable_Status/1183021 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Questioning_Cassels_Questionable_Status/1183021 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/d/9/d9eff49deed7cbe82d86ddab6c7ce56bcaca6da2/small/St_Louis_Rams_637c.jpg The Chiefs' performance against the Ravens was a pleasant surprise. I don't know if I have ever been less excited about watching a Chiefs' game than I was going into Sunday. I thought the Ravens were going to wax the Chiefs. When I heard that Matt Cassel was inactive for the game, I almost couldn't bring myself to watch the game. As the game started, I remember turning to my friend and saying "here we go again," as I buried my head in my hands. The Chiefs' offens...

Apparently, Cassel is in a different situation, as he has been declared inactive (just announced on ESPN).

Cassel practiced Thursday and likely will play Sunday. But Babb said Cassel was running with a limp during hurry-up drills. Playing in Baltimore isn’t a good time to be limping around.

Cassel was in full pads for the second time this week on Wednesday, though he didn't participate in all the drills because of an injured left knee. Cassel was injured in Kansas City's second preseason game on Aug. 29, when he was pulled down from behind by Seattle's Brandon Mebane.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network and National Football Post is reporting that Cassel starting Sunday is a 50-50 proposition.

And, despite an up-and-down preseason, Cassel -- in large part because of the amount of money ow...
