    Coach Romeo Crennel was pleased with what he’s seen from quarterback Kyle Orton in two days of practice this week but stopped just short of saying he would start Sunday’s game against Green Bay at Arrowhead Stadium. ''I would say he will probably start for us,'' Crennel said. ''Kyle was able to do more than I expected yesterday and we gave him more today as a result of it. He seemed to have weathered the storm pretty good. We feel good right now about where he is. We’ll have to see how he feels in the morning.'' Orton dislocated the index finger on his passing hand in the win two weeks ago over Chicago. He didn’t play in last week’s loss to the Jets. He indicated he was ready to play. He said he will wear a glove on his passing hand, as he did for six week after a similar injury two years ago while with the Broncos. ''It’s just having to get used to wearing a glove and throwing,’’ Orton said. “I really don’t like to do it but there’s no way around it.''
