Reported by the Kansas City Star
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Although previous reports suggested Cassel might not be available this week, he was with his teammates as they went through their normal pre-practice stretching ritual but was not stretching. Later, he was under center for the first snap of practice. Cassel made some short throws in the brief period of time the media was allowed to view practice. ... After practice, HC Todd Haley said Cassel was a “full participant." As Profootballtalk.com noted, rib injuries are often a pain tolerance issue. If Cassel can throw passes at practice Monday, the odds would seem fairly good that he’d at least try to throw them Sunday against the Bills.
