Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, who missed last week's game following an appendectomy, has been listed as active for Sunday's crucial game against the St. Louis Rams.
It was not immediately clear if Cassel, the Chiefs' regular starter, would begin the game under center or on the sidelines backing up Brodie Croyle.
The Chiefs' third quarterback Tyler Palko was listed as inactive. He can only play if Cassel and Croyle are both unavailable.
The Chiefs (8-5) must beat the Rams to remain alone in first place in the AFC West. Coach Todd Haley said a decision between Cassel and Croyle would probably not be made until just before the game.
Reporters who saw Cassel early in Friday's practice noted he was throwing the ball with more velocity and appeared to be doing more with the offense in practice.
Cassel sat out last week against the Chargers while the Chiefs, behind Croyle, had one of their worst offensive showings ever and lost 31-0 at San Diego.
