Chiefs QB Matt Cassel Leaves Game With Leg Injury

Seahawks Blog | Seahawks at Chiefs, a running game thread | Seattle Times Newspaper

Well, after three plays, quarterback Matt Cassel limped off the field, holding his left thigh. He was injured when he was sacked by defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (or Muh-bain as the press-box PA is calling him). Defensive tackle Colin Cole flushed Cassel from the pocket.

 

Dammit.

Thigpen is in as the backup.

I find that curious...

 

Big news if he's going to miss some time?

I really have to get on the NFL news team for game day threads...

 

He got his left knee twisted at a weird angle.

It didn't look season ending though.

 

And the Chief's fan can breathe again.

 

Thigpen is the only QB that can survive.

 

im happy he didnt lose his season phew!

 

xrays always come back negative on ligament tears, not saying that it is something as serious as that, but just because the xray is negative is no reason to breathe a sigh of relief. with how often people with ligament damage have xrays that are negative, im surprised at how many people seem to forget that, wait, no I'm not.

 

Chips and salsa

 

I am not a cassel fan.... and xrays only show so much! like bone... oh well he has his paycheck and wont even have to work for it! or maybe I should have more faith in my new staff and think maybe they wont make that same "gannon" mistake. :icon_rolleyes:

 

It's probably nothing.

 

Com'on tammie! get on your New GM's Bandwagon! or you gonna think he is going to mess things up on his first decisions as a GM? Carl did fine at first, just lost his way after his his first 6 seasons.

 

I am still stuck on last years bandwagon that had thiggy getting points with a crappy line. Tonight we finally give him a shot and I seen him scramble (which he is pretty good at) but what I could not figure out was the line,... we had guys that should have been further back in the line.... clear up to the line of scrimmage... you could not tell who was who in the line... Anyone else notice this? Sloppy line!

 

I hope he is okay. I am genuinely interested in seeing what he can do in a full season in KC.

 

Serious or not, at least he knows what to expect all season long

 

it would be horrible to lose your big money QB for the year during a crapty preseason game

 

If the line played this poorly against the Seahawks then I feel bad for whoever is under center against a better defense.
