According to reports coming out of Kansas City, Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has a strained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and could miss the team’s season opener and maybe more.

Cassel reportedly could miss two to four weeks. He was hurt Saturday night when sacked on the third play of a the game against Seattle in a 14-10 preseason loss.

Kansas City opens the regular season on September 13th in Baltimore against the Ravens. They return to practice today and are expect to have an injury update on Cassel.

With Cassell sidelined, Tyler Thigpen would be Cassel’s primary backup.

Cassel was acquired by Kansas City in an offseason trade with New England and signed a $63 million, six-year contract with the Chiefs. The contract contains $28 million in guaranteed money.

Cassel replaced injured Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the first week of the 2008 season and threw for 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns.
