[Topeka Capital-Journal] Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against Baltimore and is unlikely to play in next weekend’s game at Tampa Bay.
Cassel was hit by the Ravens’ Haloti Ngata while completing a pass to Jamaal Charles in the Chiefs’ 9-6 loss. He remained on the ground for several minutes before walking off the field.
Crennel said that Brady Quinn will prepare to start next Sunday’s game. Ricky Stanzi would be the backup quarterback.
For all those fans that cheered Cassel’s injury, that was downright sick. I know his play on the field leaves much to be desired, but it doesn’t make it right for us as Chiefs fans to do this. The man is still a human being with a family I’m sure.

I think the ‘booing’ incident is getting blown WAY out of control.
I think most of the fans were simply cheering when Brady Quinn started warming up, not cheering because Cassel was hurt.
Fans have watched the Chiefs flail for 5 games now, never having a lead at any time THIS SEASON!
Unfortunately for Winston and the Chiefs the boos will continue until we have something, ANYTHING, to cheer for . .. .

Big Chief you are correct it was not because Cassel got hurt it was because we have been wanting and to see Brady Quinn play and he was warming up on the sideline. I can totally understand how it looked, but that is not the reason at all. We need to improve in all areas on both sides of the ball.

I am sure some of fans were inappropriate. But, where was winston’s outrage about fellow players paying each other to purposly hurt an opposing player. Or his outrage at himself for missing his assignment which allowed his quarterback to get hurt.

exactly tdmt! For those excited to see Quinn, I don’t know. His career stats are worse than Cassel’s–I wouldn’t expect much. Most of Cassel’s INTs have been tips or hail mary’s. The goal line fumble was both his and centers fault and was inexcusable. I still think Cassel is the best QB in Chiefs uniform, but it is good that we are seeing what Quinn can do. He’s never had this much talent before. Coaching staff is failing in my opionion.
