Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers (back) and Brandon Carr (ankle) are active for Monday's game against the Patriots.
They were limited in practice all week, but their status was never really in doubt. The Chiefs' corners have been a relative strength this season, but they get somewhat minimized against the Patriots' TE-friendly offense led by underneath assassin Wes Welker. Mon, Nov 21, 2011 07:35:00 PM

Brandon Flowers (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Flowers was limited all week and was considered a game-time decision. If he can be effective on that gimpy ankle, he'll suck a little upside out of Percy Harvin and the Vikings' passing game. The Chiefs' inactives: QB Ricky Stanzi, WR Jerheme Urban, WR Jon Baldwin, T Steve Maneri, DT Jerrell Powe, DT Brandon Bair and S Jon McGraw.

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 4.

Flowers turned in "limited" practices all week and is listed as questionable to face the Vikings. Even if the Chiefs' top corner does play, it appears he won't be at 100 percent. Vikings WR Percy Harvin has a quality Week 4 matchup.

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (ankle) participated in the portion of practice open the media on Wednesday.

"I feel good," Flowers said afterward. "I went out there and practiced today, moved around a little bit and it felt a lot better than I thought it would. That’s a real positive sign. Going into tomorrow’s practice I’m going to push it even more." Barring a setback, Flowers is trending toward being active against the Vikings.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

The Chiefs declined to update the status of CB Brandon Flowers (ankle) Monday.

Flowers took an injection Sunday and tried to sneak back into the game, so it doesn't sound like an overly severe injury. "Our trainer was over helping somebody else and he sneaks out on the field," said coach Todd Haley. If Flowers can't go this week, the meandering Vikings' passing game gets a major boost.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers will have X-rays on his ankle when the Chiefs return to Kansas City.

The injury was originally reported as a knee issue, so this comes as some level of relief for the Chiefs. Still, Flowers received an injection Sunday and was still unable to return to the game or put weight on his leg. The Chiefs will have to turn to Travis Daniels if Flowers can't go against the Vikings next week. It could be another major injury in a season full of them for 0-3 Kansas City.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers left Sunday's game against the Chargers in the second quarter with an apparent right knee injury.

Flowers made a beautiful interception on a deep pass for Malcom Floyd, catching the ball over his shoulder. But at the end of the return, he appeared to tweak his knee on a non-contact play near the sideline. Flowers was able to walk off under his own power and is questionable to return. Backup Travis Daniels has come on.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs signed LCB Brandon Flowers to a five-year, $50 million extension with $22 million guaranteed.

The extension locks up Flowers through the 2016 season. Flowers fell to the second round of the 2008 draft due to concerns with his forty time, but he's emerged as one of the league's top cornerbacks in both coverage and run support. A physical athlete who plays bigger than his size (5'10/187), Flowers is still only 25 years old. The Chiefs will likely move fellow contract-year CB Brandon Carr to the top of their extension priority list. Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson have also recently been locked up long term.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers says he has not heard anything from the team regarding an umpcoming contract extension.

Flowers is due just $555,000 in this last year of his rookie deal. A ballhawk (nine interceptions, four forced fumbles in three seasons) and man-to-man maven, Flowers has quietly emerged as one of the better corners in football at age 25. He was Pro Football Focus' third overall cornerback in the league last season, ranking second to only Champ Bailey in coverage.

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers said he was just cramping following Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Flowers had to be carried from the field, so we're not sure if we're buying mere cramps. Regardless, it's obvious the shutdown corner isn't 100 percent. It's good news for Philip Rivers as the Chargers face the Chiefs next week.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers suffered an undisclosed injury in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Beat writer Kent Babb doesn't know what Flowers injured but reports that "it was bad enough that two guys were lifting him and carrying the guy toward the locker room." He might have aggravated his hamstring injury. We'll update you on his status when more is known.

Chiefs LCB Brandon Flowers (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 13 against the Broncos.

Flowers was limited in every practice this week. If he's on the Dexter McCluster plan, he'll miss a month. Should Flowers not play against the Broncos, Jabar Gaffney could be worth more of a look as a low-end WR3. Flowers spent no time on Brandon Lloyd in the Chiefs' Week 10 matchup with Denver.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

The Kansas City Star's Kent Babb doubts that Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers (hamstring) will play in Week 12.

Flowers has yet to practice this week after injuring his hamstring in Week 11. He has emerged as one of the best young corners in the league, so his loss would be a big blow to the Chiefs. It's good news for Seattle's passing game, but with Mike Williams likely out, they still don't have a receiver that's a particularly desirable fantasy option.

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury.

The Chiefs are sporting a three-touchdown lead with five minutes left, so Flowers' day is likely done. Safety Ricky Price has come on to replace him.

Brandon Flowers - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers has allowed just 81 yards on 31 targets this season, good for a ridiculously low 2.6 yards per attempt figure.

Meet the NFL's newest shutdown corner. To put Flowers' numbers in perspective, he's averaging a full yard less per attempt than Darrelle Revis allowed last season. Two writers from the stats-based website Profootballfocus.com have Flowers in the running for NFL MVP through five weeks. He'll travel to Houston Sunday to take on Andre Johnson and the Texans.
