Kansas City's Mark Bradley is inactive against the Denver Broncos as the Chiefs continue their season-long receiver shuffle.

The Chiefs' inactive list for today's game contains no bombshells. The five players on their injured list won't play.

Starting wide receiver Bobby Wade not only isn't starting today. He's not playing.

No surprises for the Cowboys among their inactives. Wide receiver Roy Williams, running back Felix Jones, safety Gerald Sensabaugh, linebacker Curtis Johnson and safety Mike Hamlin did not make the trip to Kansas City.

He's active. Ikechuku Ndukwe, the demoted starting right tackle, is not. Wade Smith and Andy Alleman are the available reserve offensive linemen today.

Regardless of whether the Chiefs have a quarterback controversy brewing - and coach Todd Haley denied they do yesterday - they do have certainty over the identity of their starting passer Sunday, which is quite a change these days.

Dwayne Bowe is one of the Chiefs' inactive players. Bowe has a sore hamstring and was limited in practice during the week.

September 25, 2009, 10:22 PM / Bowe slowed by leg injury Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe remained hobbled Friday by a leg injury, and coach Todd Haley said Bowe would be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said Thursday that he won't play against Philadelphia because of a nagging groin injury that forced him to leave Sunday's game against Oakland.

It is the mother of football statistical anomalies. One cursory glance at the stat sheet, where you'd see Kansas City rolling for 409 yards of offense while compiling 25 first downs and holding the ball for 38 minutes, 39 seconds, and you'd logically conclude the Chiefs dominated the Raiders on Sunday.

Chiefs coach Todd Haley liked some of what Matt Cassel did on Sunday, but there wasn't enough of it for Haley to say that Cassel will be Kansas City's starting quarterback for the rest of the season and beyond.

The Chiefs were down to their final attempt to rescue Sunday's game from the Oakland Raiders when Matt Cassel dropped back to pass.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley spoke with wide receiver Bobby Wade during player introductions in the tunnel prior to kickoff against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, September 20, 2009 at the Chiefs 2009 home opener at Arrowhead Stadium.

Rookie kicker Ryan Succop made a 53-yard field goal look easy Sunday, and his leg strength continues to make this year's final pick in the NFL draft look anything but irrelevant.

Second-round draft pick Paul Kruger will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL regular-season debut as the Ravens deactivated the rookie linebacker/defensive end for today's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs at M&T Bank Stadium.

Taurus Johnson hasn't found a home in the NFL. So, right now, he has to settle for a hotel.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Great, All 32 teams have paired their rosters down to 53 as of yesterday afternoon, and there were surprising cuts for every team.

Lely High School graduate Keith Eloi was waived by the Washington Redskins today, but Lely grad Steve Octavien, Naples High's Spencer Adkins and Gulf Coast's Jake O'Connell have survived with their respective teams.
