Soap Making Secrets

The excellent news for the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare for the start of the NFL regular time of year is that their starting quarterback is back at practice. The terrible news is that they still don't know when hell be able to play. Matt Cassel returned to the Chiefs practice meadow on Monday for the first time since he injured his left knee in a NFL preseason game on Dignified 29th. Still, there's been no confirmation from either he or the team as to when hell return to action. It would be an ironic twist if Cassel lost significant time due to injury, as it was a knee injury to Tom Brady while in New England that first brought him mainstream attention

Cassel, who saw his stock shoot up precipitously as an NFL QB following his solid play in New England after starter Tom Brady went down to a time of year end injury, signed a six year, $28 million contract with the Chiefs in the off time of year. Although Cassel was in full uniform at Mondays practice, head coach Todd Haley was noncommittal about whether he or Brodie Croyle would start Sundays NFL regular time of year opener on the road against the Baltimore Ravens:

"I reckon that as the week goes on, we'll know a small bit more. We'll know a small bit more with Matt for sure. But it was excellent that he was out there. He was able to get owing to some things. As the week goes on a small further, we'll know a small more as far as where he's at."

"It's excellent this is a long week. That will help with anyone who's nicked up. I would say generally you would need to have a full practice to have a opportunity to play. Generally, you need to have a full Friday practice to have a opportunity."

With or without Cassel, the Chiefs offense sputtered in the preseason scoring only two touchdowns. The lack of productivity cost offensive coordinator Chan Gailey his job and Kansas City stumbled to a 0-4 record in their NFL exhibition contests. Haley has taken over the offensive play calling for the time being, though it made no difference in the Chiefs final preseason game. Neither Croyle nor third stringer Tyler Thigpen was particularly sharp in preseason play, though Croyle got the most work and should get the nod on Sunday if Cassell is unable to play. To be honest, neither QB got much work with the Chiefs' first team offense in the preseason either.

No matter who ends up under center for Kansas City as they start their NFL regular time of year, theyll face a tough assignment against the defensive tenacity of the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs will host the Oakland Raiders in week 2 of the NFL time of year before traveling to Philadelphia on September 27 for a game against the Eagles.
