KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Matt Cassel appeared to be running more briskly in practice Wednesday morning, creating hope that Kansas City's No. 1 quarterback might start on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.

Quarterback Matt Cassel will not play in the Kansas City Chiefs' opener against the Baltimore Ravens because of a left knee sprain.

He was placed on the Chiefs' inactive list on Sunday. The Chiefs are expected to start fourth-year veteran Brodie Croyle.

Cassel injured the knee Aug. 29 in a preseason game against Seattle and did not return to practice until Monday.

The Kansas City Chiefs have fired Chan Gailey as offensive coordinator. The Chiefs said head coach Todd Haley would address Gailey's status with the team after Monday's practice.
