Chiefs clear QB Huard to start against Seahawks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs cleared Damon Huard to start at quarterback against Seattle after he worked out Sunday morning.
Huard, who is 3-2 after starting for injured Trent Green, tweaked a groin muscle in practice Thursday. He had not practiced the rest of the week, and rookie Brodie Croyle was a possible replacement.
Green was inactive for the sixth straight week and is not expected to get back on the field until late November. Other inactives for Kansas City included cornerback Benny Sapp, running back Derrick Ross and backup quarterback Casey Printers, who was promoted from the practice squad Saturday.
For the Seahawks, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, running back Shaun Alexander and wide receiver Bobby Engram all were inactive.
Hasselbeck injured a knee last week and is expected to miss three or four games.
It was the third game Engram has missed while dealing with a thyroid condition. Alexander is expected to be back next week after missing four games with a foot injury.
