[ESPN.com] Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said it was too early to know if quarterback Matt Cassel will miss a second straight start this weekend because of an injury to his left knee. But he is hopeful of making a decision earlier than Sunday, when the decision was made just hours before the season-opener at Baltimore.
If Cassel remains out, Brodie Croyle would make a second start, this one against Oakland, after earning generally high marks in the 38-24 loss to the Ravens.
“Matt is doing everything he can to be ready,” Haley said. “I would hope I would know a little sooner this week, although right now I can’t give a definitive answer. But the player’s doing everything he can to be ready, which generally helps speed the healing process.”
I hope he is ready.

Don’t overreact. He’s just making a comment. There’s not much else to say when you are asked the same question over and over.
We should not be as worried about getting Cassel back in there as we are about getting Cassel healthy. We invested a lot in him, and we aren’t winning the Super Bowl this year.
