Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers sustained a chest injury in Sunday's loss to the Raiders but expects to play Week 16.
Flowers went down in the first quarter Sunday after colliding with teammate Jalil Brown. He later returned to the game, but was struggling. "I'm pretty sore, and had trouble breathing," Flowers said. "It doesn't limit your movement. It's just breathing. You can't take deep breaths, so you have to manage it." Mon, Dec 17, 2012 11:58:00 AM

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers is active for Week 14 despite being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

Kansas City's Week 14 inactives are QB Ricky Stanzi, WR Steve Breaston, WR Devon Wylie, FS Kendrick Lewis, S Abram Elam, FB Nate Eachus, and DT Jerrell Powe. Flowers will try to cover Josh Gordon et al, at less than 100 percent Sunday. ILB Derrick Johnson was also listed as questionable, but is in the lineup.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) is listed as probable for Week 5.

Flowers seemed to have a setback with the training-camp injury when he appeared on Wednesday's injury report, missing practice. He got back into the mix late in the week and is on pace to start Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Brandon Flowers (heel) is back on the Chiefs' injury report, and missed Wednesday's practice.

Flowers appears to have tweaked the injury that slowed him in camp and held him out in Week 1. It's possible the Chiefs are just giving him extra rest as they gear up for a tough matchup with the Ravens, but it's a situation to monitor.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) is active for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Bills.

Flowers missed Week 1 against the Falcons and the Chiefs were lit up by Matt Ryan. The Chiefs have declared WR Devon Wylie, RB Cyrus Gray, S Kendrick Lewis, NT Anthony Toribio, DE Allen Bailey, and TE Steve Maneri inactive on Sunday. Ricky Stanzi is the third quarterback.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) has declared himself ready to resume playing in football games.

Flowers had been sidelined since July 31, ostensibly due to an Achilles' tendinitis injury or something to that effect. Jacques Reeves was torched repeatedly by Matt Ryan in the opener, so Flowers' return will be welcomed with open arms by Romeo Crennel's defense. When healthy, he's their best cornerback.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) was a full participant in Thursday's practice for the first time since late July.

It's a positive sign for Flowers' availability at Buffalo this week. With Pro Bowl pass rusher Tamba Hali returning and Flowers possibly on his heels, the Bills' passing game won't get the same matchup advantage enjoyed by Matt Ryan in the opener.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

The Chiefs aren't committing to a Week 2 return for LCB Brandon Flowers (heel).

"We’ll find out next week," coach Romeo Crennel said after Sunday's loss. "If he can practice, he’ll play. If he can’t practice, he won’t play." Flowers got in three limited practices last week, so Crennel must be referring to full sessions. Reports on Flowers' progress have been positive, so there's probably a better than 50/50 chance he suits up against the Bills.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs declared CB Brandon Flowers, FS Kendrick Lewis, NT Anthony Toribio, QB Ricky Stanzi, RB Cyrus Gray, TE Steve Maneri and DL Allen Bailey versus the Falcons in Week 1.

Pro Bowl ILB Derrick Johnson (ankle) will play, but the Chiefs are without their only true pass rusher in Tamba Hali (suspension) as well as the team's top cover corner, starting free safety and starting nose tackle. Filling in are OLB Andy Studebaker, CB Jacques Reeves, FS Abram Elam and NT Dontari Poe. Although Arrowhead Stadium is a daunting venue for opposing offenses, the Falcons passing attack gets a major matchup upgrade against an injury-riddled defense.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) is questionable for Week 1 against the Falcons.

Flowers got in three limited practices this week, and indicated on Monday he'll be a game-time decision. Even if he suits up, it's likely he'll be rusty against the Falcons' on-the-rise passing attack. S Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) is doubtful and unlikely to play, while LBs Jovan Belcher (groin) and LB Derrick Johnson (ankle) are both questionable. It could be a long day for the Chiefs defense.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) indicated that he'll be a game-time decision for Sunday's opener against Atlanta.

"If I'm out there on Sunday, then that means I'm ready to go," said a vague Flowers. "We'll know game day." It's possible secretive GM Scott Pioli instructed all players to avoid detailed commentary on injuries. Coach Romeo Crennel has been optimistic Flowers will start in Week 1 despite missing all of camp.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel is "hopeful" LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) will be ready for Week 1.

Flowers has been sidelined since the early days of camp, and got in zero preseason reps. It's possible the Chiefs have simply been exercising extreme caution with one of their most important players, however. Missed exhibition reps won't be a big concern for the five-year vet provided he's close to 100 percent.

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (heel) remains sidelined.

Barring a miracle, he won't suit up for Thursday's exhibition finale. Flowers has been sidelined since the early days of camp, and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 1 against the Falcons. His absence would be a major blow for a defense that's gotten pushed around this preseason.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers was sporting a walking boot on his injured left heel at Monday's practice.

Flowers has missed nearly three weeks of practice, and now appears all but certain to sit out Friday's regular season dress rehearsal against the Seahawks. The Chiefs have remained mum on Flowers' status, so it shouldn't be considered a given he'll be ready for Week 1. The missed reps won't be a concern for the five-year veteran going into the season, as long as he's healthy.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers has missed two weeks of practice with a foot injury.

Flowers is reportedly near a return, but is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Rams. His absence won't be a concern until/if it stretches toward the end of the month.
