When Roethlisberger had his appendix out a couple years back he had 14 days from when it was done to when the Steelers next game after the one he missed. In his first two games back...he had passer ratings of around 38. So even if Cassel does make it back for next week I wouldn't expect him to be much better than Brodie Croyle was for the first couple weeks.
Hopefully the Chiefs go out in the offseason and get themselves a Billy Volek like backup. The last time the Chiefs made the playoffs...Damon Huard was huge with how he played in Trent Greens absence.....boy could they use a guy like that now.
