Kansas City, Mo. — Quarterback Brodie Croyle is back after a four-week absence and will start for the Kansas City Chiefs in their next game against Tennessee on Oct. 19.
Since sustaining a separated shoulder in the Sept. 7 season opener at New England, Croyle has seen the Chiefs go 1-4.
Neither Damon Huard nor Tyler Thigpen, who both have started in his absence, has been able to generate any consistency for a young, rebuilding squad that has 16 rookies and hit a three-year low on Sunday in a 34-0 shutout at Carolina. The Chiefs have a bye this week.
"If I'm ready to go, I assume they'll start me," Croyle said Monday. "As long as I can prove that over the next two weeks, I'll be ready."
Coach Herm Edwards said the job will belong to Croyle "unless we have something go haywire with him."
"He's ready to go," Edwards said.
Kansas City's designated quarterback of the future, Croyle is still looking for his first NFL victory after seven injury-plagued starts.
