Chiefs notebook: Quinn still not cleared to play
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
The Chiefs still don’t have a starting quarterback for Monday’s game against the Steelers. Brady Quinn has yet to be cleared by doctors after suffering a possible concussion against the Raiders on Oct. 28, and until he is, the job belongs to Matt Cassel.

But Quinn could be cleared this week in time for him to prepare to play against the Steelers. Coach Romeo Crennel said he would make a decision between Quinn and Cassel as the starter if Quinn gets the OK to play.

Cassel was the quarterback in practice on Monday. Quinn did some throwing during individual drills but didn’t participate when the Chiefs went to full team work.

Smith returns

Defensive lineman Shaun Smith had one of the best seasons of his nine-year NFL career in 2010 with the Chiefs so, out of football this year, he had been pestering Romeo Crennel to sign him during their regular conversations.

The Chiefs finally did sign Smith to a one-year contract Monday.

“I’m off the couch now,” Smith said. “I get to play some football. I don’t have to watch it anymore. It’s good to come back to a place where everybody wanted me to come back to.”

Smith might play against the Steelers because Glenn Dorsey was on crutches Monday.

“He’s played in the system before,” Crennel said. “He’s been on a couple other teams. The depth on the defensive front, particularly with Dorsey’s situation, I think that helps us. He’s a big body, a big strong, physical guy. He’s seen a lot and he understands our system and what I want, what I’m looking for. I think he might be able to help us.”

Smith said he would be ready to play by Monday

“I was rusty a little bit but it felt good to be out there with the guys,” Smith said. “I was signed to do a job, to help out and also be a leader. I think I’m the oldest guy on the team now. I’ll just try to provide some leadership and just help some of these young guys and help turn things around these last eight games.”

Injury update

The Chiefs don’t have to issue an injury report until later in the week. But they practiced Monday and Dorsey (calf) was the only player who did no work.

Quinn, running back Jamaal Charles (neck), cornerback Javier Arenas (head), guard Jeff Allen (head), wide receiver Terrance Copper (calf) and running back Nate Eachus (head) were limited in practice.

He just might. I think the Steelers defense will get some good hard shots at Cassel early and often. Cassel will be seeing tweety birds before halftime.

No news here folks, this team give us all a headache.

whoman69 · 11-05-2012, 10:37 PM

We also bring back Palko for this game?

htismaqe · 11-06-2012, 05:49 AM

Look folks, Brady Quinn isn't going to be clear to play the rest of the year. This is Matt's team. Get a clue.

So Arenas has a head injury? And we cut Routt?

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. However, there is no way that the 2012 Kansas City Chiefs are going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh. They will surpass the 1976 Buccaneers as the worst team of all-time when it is all said and done.

So we are going to lose 26 in a row?

If Clark refuses to take out the Patriot trash, that is a possibility. We're not taking a lead for the rest of the season that's for damn sure.
