While the Chiefs have not come out and officially released the injury status of quarterback Matt Cassel and wide receiver Devard Darling, sources are saying Cassel could miss a month and Darling will be gone for the year.

Jason Cole of Yahoo is saying he was told by sources with the Chiefs that Cassel has a strained MCL.  The injury will keep him out 2 to 4 weeks.  Cassel suffered his injury on the third play of the game. 

Mike Fiori of Pro Football Talk is reporting that Darling has a torn ACL, an injury that will knock him out for the season. 

This is not what the Chiefs needed.  They only have two offensive touchdowns in three games.  It appears until Cassel returns, the team will be in the hands of Brodie Croyle who did not play on Saturday.  Head coach Todd Haley wanted to give Tyler Thigpen an extended look.
