Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (appendectomy) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against San Diego. Brodie Croyle will start the most significant game the Chiefs have played in quite a few years. Look for the team to focus on the run as long as they stay close. Dwayne Bowe is benchable in [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) practiced Thursday and Friday and is expected to return for Sunday’s game against Kansas City. Jackson stated his strained calf is still bothering him, but it looks like he’ll return after missing just one game. He’s a very high-risk play this week, and we would be hesitant to [...]

Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel underwent an appendectomy on Wednesday and his status for Sunday’s game against San Diego is in question. Cassel has to be considered highly unlikely to play, despite undergoing a less severe version of an emergency appendectomy. Cassel has an outrageous 19:1 TD-to-INT ratio over his last nine games, as [...]

The Denver Broncos have fired Coach Josh McDaniels. After going 5-17 in his last 22 games, McDaniels was finally shown the door. Despite unlimited potential as an offensive-minded coach, McDaniels struggled to get consistency from his group, despite turning Kyle Orton into an above-average league quarterback in 2010. McDaniels’ accomplishments on offense can only be [...]

Oakland Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski will miss the remainder of the season with a seperated right shoulder. Gradkowski has battled shoulder problems for a majority of the season and the latest re-aggrevation will cost him the rest of the season. Jason Campbell will take over as the starter beginning this week against San Diego. Gradkowski [...]

Oakland Raiders TE Zach Miller underwent x-rays on his injured fibula, but no fracture was revealed. It appears Miller dodged a bullet, as his leg reportedly looks pretty bad. He’s still in danger of missing Week 13 against San Diego, however, and is still dealing with a torn plantar fascia in his foot. He won’t [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) will miss at least the next two weeks, according to NBC’s Andrea Kremer. Kremer also mentioned that Jackson hurt his groin in practice last week, so the calf strain likely resulted from overcompensating for the groin injury. It’s looking highly unlikely Jackson will be making an impact in [...]

Oakland Raiders TE Zach Miller injured his fibula during Sunday’s loss to Miami, and also revealed he’s been dealing with a torn plantar fascia in his foot. The foot injury is the same one that has cost Chargers TE Antonio Gates several games this season. Miller’s numbers have taken a severe hit since the injury, [...]

Oakland Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski re-injured his shoulder during Sunday’s loss to Miami and will be out indefinitely. Jason Campbell will start next week against San Diego, as Gradkowski will likely miss extended time, if not the remainder of the season. Gradkowski did not perform well Sunday and is not a long-term option at quarterback [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson left Sunday’s game against Indianapolis during the first quarter with a calf injury and did not return. Jackson lasted just three plays before leaving with the injury. Lower body injuries are always a concern for players coming off of holdouts (i.e. Darrelle Revis), so this isn’t exactly surprising. The [...]
