Chief Dick Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 GREEN LIKELY TO START Quarterback Trent Green, who took a couple of shots to the rib cage in last week's loss to the Chargers, practiced for the first time this week Friday and appears ready to make his 60th straight start Sunday at Oakland. On Thursday, Green said he would feel good enough to play as long as he was able to get in at least one full practice leading up to a game. During Friday's workout, Green made all of the usual throws and didn't show any signs of obvious discomfort. “Trent was fine,” Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said. “He said he felt good.” Vermeil stopped short of saying that Green is a lock to start Sunday. Vermeil said he wanted to consult with his assistant coaches and the team doctors first and make a final decision today. Green's streak of consecutive games started streak is the longest by a quarterback in Chiefs history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd get news as to his status on Saturday and I've heard nothing. Is no news still good news ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSab Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Starting QB Trent Green (ribs-questionable) is expected to wear a flak jacket due to a painful rib injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I am thinking about starting David Carr over Green because of fear that he will take one hard shot to the rib cage and be out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
