Chiefs promote Printers to active roster

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CP) - The Kansas City Chiefs have promoted former CFL star Casey Printers from the practice roster to the active roster.

Printers, the CFL's outstanding player in 2004 with the B.C. Lions, will be the Chiefs' No. 3 quarterback Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Printers replaced starter Trent Green on the roster. Green suffered a severe concussion in Kansas City's 23-10 loss last week to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Backup Damon Huard, a 10-year NFL veteran, will start for the Chiefs on Sunday against Denver. Rookie Brodie Croyle will back up Huard.


He may actually be our best option considering any QB we have behind that line will be on the run all day.

As with last week, and every other week. 3rd string quarterbacks CANNOT come into the game without the other two being injured first.

They can if they are active

Here's to hoping Printer's rot's on paycheck row, but i gotta tell ya' Poz, your avatar NEVER fail's to induce a giggle and maybe somethin' else......

wrong

that does not bode well for the health of trent green.

Technically, he's not wrong.

But if Printers comes into the game, that means that Huard and Croyle can't.

Or says "oh man, our line looks just as bad in practice again this week. fuck."

Printers is our best option if you want 30 yard sacks instead of 15 yard sacks

I'm not expecting to see Green till atleast November...

Sure they can. Any player can play if they are active. It is not necessary to activate your third string QB if you only intend to play him as your emergency QB.

i wonder if Herm is planning on trying to break his record?


6 quarterbacks put on IR in the same year.

What does not bode well about this, is the piece that he replaces Trent Green on the active roster...Does not look good for Trent.

heh, I was wrong, but so were you.


The emergency (third) quarterback may now enter the game in just the fourth quarter, regardless if the other two quarterbacks are able to play. This means that if the third string quarterback enters the game, the first and/or second quarterback may re-enter, unlike the past two seasons where the emergency quarterback would only play off the first two were unable to resume play.

I'm not wrong.


That assumes that he is inactive and declared the emergency QB. If he is active he is just another player on the roster. He can play special teams, WR, QB whatever. See Slash, Matt Jones, Marcus Vick, etc...
