Seahawks-Chiefs short recap

Cassel injured as Chiefs fall to Seahawks

Kansas City had a woeful night on offense -- its only TD came on defense -- and lost two starters in the game's first three minutes, including QB Matt Cassel, in a 14-10 preseason loss to Seattle on Saturday.

Cassel was injured the first time he dropped back to pass, dragged down from behind by Brandon Mebane after the pocket collapsed. Cassel called timeout, then limped down the tunnel toward the locker room and didn't return. The Chiefs also lost Brandon Flowers to a hurt shoulder, and WR Devard Darling had to be helped off in the second quarter, favoring his left leg.

Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck, meanwhile, threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns with newly signed Edgerrin James watching on the sideline.

James, the NFL's active rushing leader, signed with Seattle on Tuesday but spent the game in sweats, pen and notepad in hand. Hasselbeck put on a good show for his new teammate, leading the Seahawks on scoring drives to end the first half and open the second.
