Report: Sprained MCL for Cassel

Source (CBSSports.com) (QB - kc) | 0 comments.

News: Yahoo Sports reports that according to a team source, Chiefs QB Matt Cassel sprained the MCL in his left knee early in his third preseason game vs. Seattle and might miss up to four weeks. That would mean that Cassel is a question mark for Week 1 at Baltimore, though ESPN reports that Cassel will be ready for the game. The team has said nothing official on Cassel's injury and won't have to until the Wednesday before Week 1, but the fact that the quarterback walked off the field under his own power is a sign that the injury isn't major. Cassel also has a sprained left ankle, though it's not considered as serious. [...]

Cassel may have MCL sprain

According to Pro Football Talk, it's believed that Matt Cassel's injury looks to be a sprained ankle and sprained MCL.

Our View: Neither of theses injuries are good news, but how much time he misses will depend on the grade of the sprain. A Grade 2 sprain could cost him a couple regular season games, where as a lesser Grade 1 sprain would likely keep him out of just a few practices. The Chiefs have yet to comment on the injury, so stay tuned to see if the speculation is correct.
