Cassel Watch (9/8/2009, 1:00PM CST)
9/8/2009
Our Cassel watch maybe coming to a close soon. Monday, Chiefs QB Matt Cassel was at Chiefs practice with a brace on his knee but taking part in drills. It is still not known if Cassel will play Sunday for the season opener but for the Chiefs sake, they sure hope he is good to go.
Analyst: Depending on whom you talk to, if Cassel is not 100% there are many fans with conflicting views on if Cassel should play Sunday. On one hand many fans are saying sending a wounded franchise QB to the wolves (or the Ravens D) behind this offensive line would be suicide. Others believe a 70% Cassel is better than a 100% ready Croyle or Thigpen. If you think Cassel is ready to go and the Chiefs could win on the road against the Ravens then play him, if not let him heal and be ready for the home opener against Oakland.
