Newly acquired starting QB for the Kansas City Chiefs, Matt Cassel, could miss the start of the season. The diagnosis is a sprained MCL that could keep him out of action for up to four weeks. If you got him on your fantasy team, and are unfortunate enough to have him as a starter, you need to think about options - and re-think your draft strategy for next year. Matt Cassel as your starter? Shame on you.
Matt Cassel’s Status Still Up in Air
The 2-4 week report meshes up with what we've noticed in other MCL type injuries. Last year, Matt Schaub missed weeks 9-12 with a similar injury. Tavaris Jackson had a mild MCL sprain about a month ago in preseason. It kept him out of action for less than two weeks. Knowshon Moreno, the Denver Broncos first round pick, isn't a definite for week one because of an MCL.
Worse case scenario, Cassel returns for Week 3 at the Philadelphia Eagles. Is that so bad? With the way the offensive line is playing right now, the Chiefs quarterback position isn't exactly the safest spot on the field.
