Chiefs’ Green has procedure to fix circulation problem

By ELIZABETH MERRILL

The Kansas City Star

Chiefs quarterback Trent Green had an outpatient procedure to fix a circulation problem and is expected to be back in practice Monday, coach Dick Vermeil said.

Green was absent again from Wednesday’s practice, four days after he took an early seat in Saturday night’s preseason loss to Seattle. After Wednesday’s workout, Vermeil called it a “minor problem” and said he expected the Pro Bowler to play in the Sept. 11 season opener against the Jets.

“Nobody’s given me reason to (worry),” Vermeil said. “Everything has been positive. So I think he’ll be ready to go to work.”

Green was pulled after the second series Saturday night and was seen on the sideline talking to doctors. He had been bothered by numbness in his lower left leg and foot. When he missed Tuesday’s practice, panic hit the plains. Green’s backup, Todd Collins, has a fractured hand, and No. 3 quarterback Damon Huard has been out with a concussion.

Vermeil said journeyman quarterback Jonathan Quinn, who was sitting at home in Overland Park, Kan., just over a week ago, will get the start Friday at St. Louis.

Q: Have you been told there are any side effects or recovery problems for Green with this deal?

VERMEIL: “No. Obviously, if you’re told he’s going to be back playing in a National Football League there’s not many side effects.”

Q: Was it done to the leg area?

VERMEIL: “To the leg.”

Q: But you understand the concern from people. He had this procedure and all….. He’s your starting quarterback and if he’s gone then what are you gonna do now because your backup is hurt?

VERMEIL: “I’ve been there before. I know how that feels. I’ve coached long enough to coach through that experience. I don’t like it but no one ever told me I would have to be concerned (about Trent). No one ever gave me the thought that I would have to be concerned regardless of the exams. No one ever gave me the thought that he wouldn’t be able to play.”

Q: So you feel a sense of relief with this news?

VERMEIL: “Yeah, I do. I really do. He does to.”

Q: Will this bother him throughout the season or will this procedure….

VERMEIL: “It’s over. It’s done.”
