Chiefs KC Star: Baldwin & Painter both possible for Sunday

Haley says Jon Baldwin could play Sunday

Chiefs coach Todd Haley said today that, after a seven-week absence, rookie wide receiver Jon Baldwin could return to full participation this week and might play Sunday at Indianapolis.

Baldwin, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick, suffered a fractured thumb in August after an altercation with teammate Thomas Jones. He began catching passes about 10 days ago, before his team's game at San Diego, the coaches and trainers apparently decided that he wasn't yet ready for full practices or participation in a game.

Haley said Baldwin would likely work with the special-teams unit this week, at least until he's ready to join the receivers corps on a full-time basis.

Looks like Chiefs will see Painter at QB for Colts

Kind of odd watching the Colts play the other night without Peyton Manning at QB. But he's out and apparently Kerry Collins still is, too.
Collins, who is recovering from a concussion that forced him to miss last week's game against Tampa Bay, is unlikely to be ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs in Indianapolis.

So the Chiefs will evidently see Curtis Painter, who would make the second start of his NFL career.

''Kerry has not been cleared as of yet,'' Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell said. ''They're allowing him to do a little bit but not much. So at this point in time Curtis is our starter.''

Painter is completing just 44 percent of his passes and has taken five sacks in 41 pass attempts.

''There's not anyone that can do exactly what Peyton's been able to do over the years,'' Caldwell said. ''He's been in the system for 14 years. He knows it like the back of his hand. So we don't anticipate nor expect anyone to be able to duplicate what he's done. Each of these guys have their own personalities and their own strengths and their own God-given gifts and what we try to do is put them in the best position to take advantage of that.''

Hopefully Baldwin will completely disrupt the offensive chemistry and drop a few passes.

If we beat the Colts, we can forget about it.

Well...we're beating the Colts. Might as well start forgetting about it.

i dont think so, if you watched the game vs the Bucs they were in it all the way and they were on the road, i say they beat the Chiefs @ home.

Okie_Apparition · 10-05-2011, 05:14 PM

Maybe Colquitt will throw one up for Baldwin

Iconic · 10-05-2011, 05:19 PM

Painter> Collins

Doubt Bawldwin gets more then 10 snaps.

I really HATE to say this, but I think that Baldwin will probably win us a couple games and make Cassel look a lot better than he has thus far.

Kid is a player with great hands and will probably gain the trust of Cassel pretty early.

Cassel is gonna have to try pretty hard to not look good with this set of receivers.

He is gonna bust hard because Cassel doesn't use his #2, forget his #3. We won't know the truth about Baldwin until we get a QB switch that isn't Tyler Palko.

Garcon doesnt get two huge plays in this game otherwise Painter was struggling !

If we don't beat ourselves again we are going to win Colts have so many injuries on Defense and Offense Line its laughable.
Our three injuries counting Berry Charles and Moeaki are "nothing" compared to Indys.

Freeman & Painter were suppose to have pretty close numbers MNF.
