KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Quarterback Trent Green, still recovering from a severe concussion, thanked fans Monday for thousands of expressions of support from around the world. A Kansas City Chiefs spokesman said Green had been so moved by the many people who reached out to him he asked permission to post his thank-you on the team's Web site. About 3,000 e-mails from all 50 states and such foreign points as Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and the Cayman Islands, have been received. ``Dear Chiefs Fans,'' th |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Trent Green will not play in the Kansas City Chiefs' game Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Green, 36, suffered a severe concussion in the Sept. 10 season opener against Cincinnati and has been replaced by journeyman Damon Huard. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday that Green was ``doing better'' and might even visit the team sometime this week, but Edwards said Green was definitely out for Sunday's game. Kansas City has declined to speculate when the two-time Pro Bowler will rejo |

Not being able to speak above a whisper, ``bothers him as much as anything,'' said Kendrick, who watched the Kansas City Chiefs game with O'Neil on Sunday. ``He's in good spirits,'' Kendrick said. ``Physically right now he's still drained.

DENVER (AP) -The Denver Broncos don't believe they're catching a break Sunday by facing a backup quarterback who hasn't started a game in nearly six seasons. With Trent Green sidelined by a concussion, Damon Huard will be under center when the Kansas City Chiefs visit Invesco Field. ``We aren't licking our chops over it,'' Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams insisted. After all, Huard may have just six NFL starts under his belt, but he is 5-1 as a starter and he isn't some baby-faced rookie. He's been in |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -For five high-flying years, Trent Green was the Kansas City Chiefs' Mr. Reliable. From the time Kansas City acquired him in 2001 until about 2 o'clock last Sunday, when he went feet-first into an ill-fated hook slide, ironman Green never missed a start. He hardly missed a snap. Snugly protected by all-star blockers, he threw passes to Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez and handed off to Pro Bowl running backs Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson. Many NFL fans were unaware how good the Ch |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -In May, he said he was eager to tack one more year onto his great career. In July, he sent a jolt through the Kansas City Chiefs when he retired on the eve of training camp. And on Thursday, Willie Roaf said he is done playing professional football. In a high-rise law office in downtown Kansas City, far removed from the stadiums and the cheers, the 11-time Pro Bowl left tackle who helped pave the way for one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses said his body couldn't take one more seas |

He's bounced back before and will bounce back again.'' Even cornerback Ty Law of the Kansas City Chiefs, who visit Invesco Field on Sunday, came to Plummer's defense, saying: ``You can't blame Jake for everything that happened.'' Still, Plummer threw off is back foot on his first interception, overthrew a wide open receiver on his second one and ine |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -The Kansas City Chiefs and free-agent wide receiver Rod Gardner agreed Wednesday to terms of a two-year contract.
