Chiefs cross their fingers on Cassel, Flowers (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/08/30/chiefs-cross-their-fingers-on-cassel-flowers/)

A day after their third preseason game, the Kansas City Chiefs are waiting for the results of "medical tests" on quarterback Matt Cassel and cornerback Brandon Flowers.

Cassel suffered a knee injury while being tackled from behind against the Seahawks. X-rays were negative; an MRI presumably has been performed.

Flowers suffered a shoulder injury.

Coach Todd Haley, who's required to provide no injury information until the Wednesday before the regular-season opener, was tight-lipped. Haley said only that he'd discuss the situation "at a later date."

Cassel became a star last year when Pats quarterback Tom Brady tore an ACL during the regular-season opener against the Chiefs. If Cassel's injury is serious, the job will fall to Tyler Thigpen or Brodie Croyle.

God, Flowers better be ok. He's by far the best player on defense.

He's arguably the best player on the team.

Keep doubting Tyler Thigpen.

Bummer. This is what happens when you get yourself a franchise QB in the offseason, and don't improve your OL, which has been one of the worst in the league for a couple of seasons.

2 players we absolutely need, god this sucks, last night was awful. We have good depth at CB, but Flowers is the best and I think he can turn into a near pro bowler this year. It probably wouldn't kill us if he was out the first 2 weeks because we play Baltimore and Oakland, no big threat at WR on any team, but still.
