Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has had surgery on his injured throwing hand which he injured in Sunday’s 17-10 loss to Denver.
Coach Todd Haley still hopes that Cassel will be back this season.
Haley said Wednesday he doesn’t know when Cassel will be able to return. The team has not placed him on injured reserve, which means he could return this season. Haley said much of that will depend on how Cassel recovers this week.
Tyler Palko is schedule to start for the Chiefs in Monday’s match-up against New England. Rookie Ricky Stanzi will be the backup.
