The +Kansas City Chiefs sign WR, Rashad Ross, to practice their squad. With this in mind, and particularly the timing of this, is it too early to presume the Chiefs intend on being without Dwayne Bowe in the critical clash visiting the +Denver Broncos on Sunday night (Kickoff at 6:30 pm MST on +NBC Sports). Might be too early but considering most teams on a bye week would make this type of move earlier. More than likely the Monday/Tuesday of either the bye week or after the bye. Until it is validated although, we can speculate on fair grounds the Chiefs are prepping to be without Bowe. 

This move could also indicate that they are only preparing for Bowe to be unavailable later in the season, and they are adding another WR to their roster to assess, if or when Bowe is not on the active roster. The Chiefs release guard Chandler Burden so they do not have to release a player or make one inactive from their current roster setup. Adding Ross to the squad as well as having Frankie Hammond, another WR, gives them the player they would have wanted, if Bowe was suspended in the future. Why now, so they are assured to have Ross because any NFL club could bring him on when he was not on a roster. 

Speculation and all, the flipside to the Chiefs simply acquiring Ross instead of not getting him, should Bowe not be on the field this season, and not particularly this week against the Broncos. That said, this could mean the Chiefs are internally suspending Bowe this week with hopes of a lesser disciplinary action by the +NFL and +Roger Goodell when they address Bowe's arrest.

It is nothing out of the ordinary, but coincidences hardly occur in this fashion. As we often do, signing off with, ~"Only time will tell..."

Will KC be Without Bowe for Broncos Clash?

With the top two records in the +NFL's AFC prepping to square off against each other on Sunday night,

Kansas City Chiefs WR, Dwayne Bowe

+Kansas City Chiefs WR, Dwayne Bowe arrested for speeding and possession of marijuana last weekend. The Chiefs bye week of the season was over the weekend. Throwing his status into question when they visit the +Denver Broncos. The +San Francisco 49ers Aldon Smith was arrested earlier this year on gun related charges and possession of marijuana as well. Smith went to rehab for 4 weeks and returned to the playing field last weekend while he still awaits the NFL's disciplinary action. Based on this, it will be the Chiefs organization who makes the call on what they do with Bowe. Many would question the Chiefs decision either way. Before accosting them should they allow Bowe to play, ask yourself what one would want their favorite team to do in this situation. Let the NFL decide on discipline and allow him to play or does the team self-discipline him and gain the NFL's favor when they come to their decision regarding the situation. In sports again, "Time will tell..." +BRONCOS CR3W will keep updates as anything regarding Bowe and his playing status for Sunday becomes available.
