Chris Chambers is a healthy scratch Sunday
Posted by Evan Silva on October 24, 2010 11:59 AM ET

The Chiefs deactivated Chris Chambers in Week Six with a supposed finger injury. Coach Todd Haley later admitted that the injury had nothing to do with Chambers' inactivity.


Chambers was not on the Week Seven injury report, so it's become pretty clear that he's been benched for performance. The 32-year-old has seven catches in four appearances this year.


Joining Chambers on the sideline for Kansas City:


Center Rudy Niswanger
Safety Rashard Langford
Fullback Tim Castille
Defensive back Jackie Bates
Linebacker Justin Cole
Defensive tackle Atiyyah Ellison
Linebacker Charlie Anderson


Inactive on Jacksonville's side:


Quarterback David Garrard
Offensive tackle Kevin Haslam
Running back Rashad Jennings
Defensive end Austen Lane
Defensive tackle C.J. Mosley
Fullback Brock Bolen
Linebacker/Defensive end Aaron Morgan


Todd Bouman, as expected, starts at quarterback. He'll be backed up by Trent Edwards (thumb). Patrick Ramsey is the third quarterback.

Looks like TJack is at least suiting up today.

Mike Cox for the win!!!111111

[KCUnited]

The re-animation of Tyson Jackson begins today.

Mike Cox for the win!!!111111he played well last week

[KCrockaholic]

Mike Cox! Right on. Castille never showed me anything truly impressive as a blocker, so Mike is better IMO.

[BigChiefFan]

Chambers got paid and mailed it in-money hungry, turd.

[Reaper16]

Chambers is actually a lazy sunofabitch? Who saw that coming?

[Sure-Oz]

Love that he got paid and sadi fuck it

Apparently, Scott Pioli didn't.

[Hammock Parties]

We don't even need a passing game today.

Matt Cassel could be a healthy scratch.

[T-post Tom]

Love that he got paid and sadi **** it

I think his body got old and said "**** it." Happens.

How can Chambers do anything though when Cassel is doing what he always does? Is Chambers just a scapegoat for Cassel?

[JohnnyV13]

Inactives are stupid. We're paying tribute to the 45 man roster that went out with records on vinyl.

NFL Network fantasy guy had Cassel as his number 1 fantasy sleeper for today's game.

I'd be surprised if Cassel throws for more than 170 yards.

No.

Chambers came on and put up a decent second half of the season for the Chiefs, even with Cassel last year.

He got paid, he got lazy.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I'd be surprised if Cassel throws for more than 170 yards.

Yeah this might be a 20-3 or a 13-3 type of game. And it might be the shortest game ever with how much I think Haley will run the ball.

[milkman]

I'd be surprised if Cassel throws for more than 170 yards.

Just wanted to put it out there.

I admit, I got a good chuckle when I heard that.

Though, I imagine with three TDs last week, he had a good fantasy week.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

No.

Cassel hardly ever looks his way anyway. It's just hard to tell with shit at QB.

[BossChief]

He may be the most disappointing player as far as my expectations for his play as to what we got, this year so far.

Sucks because if he was giving the type of effort he was last year, he would be helping this offense a lot.

[Sure-Oz]

Chambers wouldnt be a healthy scratch if he was doing things right

[Hammock Parties]

Chambers wouldnt be a healthy scratch if he was doing things right

Disagree.

They probably just don't want to rush him back when they don't even need him.

[T-post Tom]

fine...make me do the heavy lifting...

:cuss: DAMMIT CARL!!!

His finger still bothering him?

[T-post Tom]

His finger still bothering him?

It truly is. I heard that he got into some sort of mishap with Gblowfish.

I don't know why but for a second I thought that was Bill Walton.

[Saccopoo]

And so much for the "Rudy Niswanger is an acceptable back up" concept.

Good centers and wide receivers in this next draft...

Just saying.

[Saccopoo]

I don't know why but for a second I thought that was Bill Walton.

It couldn't have been. He wasn't in the locker room and in uniform.

[BigMeatballDave]

Apparently, Scott Pioli didn't.Can't fault Scott for this. Chambers played well. Pioli gave him a contract, just as every GM would have done. It's good to know they arent fucking around with him though.

Uhhhmmm......The guy was released mid season by the Chargers because he wasn't producing, in part because of off field issues.

But I guess his character was never an issue, and no one could have guessed that he produced when his lively hood was his primary concern.

[Phobia]

Chambers next girlfriend/stalker/wife is going to be very disappointed when the NFL paychecks stop showing in the bank.

[Rain Man]

I'm surprised about the Cox/Castille thing. Don't know what happened there.
