As for the rest of the season? “That’s a possibility,” HC Todd Haley said Monday when asked if Cassel could be done for the year. “I wouldn’t say it’s an absolute.” For now, Cassel will not be placed on the injured-reserve list, which would officially end his season. With Cassel out, backup Tyler Palko, who has seen limited action in his two years with the Chiefs, will start Monday night’s game at New England and remain the starter for the foreseeable future. “We feel good about Tyler, or he wouldn’t be here and he wouldn’t be our number two,” Haley said. Palko was five-for-six on the Chiefs’ final drive on Sunday, leading them to a field goal and shot at getting back into the game via an ensuing onside kick.
