When the Kansas City Chiefs take the field in their first preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday night, it will mark the beginning of the Matt Cassel era.

Thanks mostly to that offseason move, some are even saying Kansas City is going to battle with San Diego for the division this year.

First things first guys. On Saturday the Chiefs are slight 2-point home favorites over the Texans

Houston’s top draft pick, linebacker Brian Cushing, won’t play in Saturday’s preseason opener against Kansas City and could miss the second preseason game as well because of a sprained left knee.

Cushing did not practice Wednesday and instead watched both workouts with a brace on his knee. Coach Gary Kubiak said no one is sure when he was injured, but the knee started bothering Cushing on Tuesday night and he was taken for an MRI.
