Shoulder injury throws Grbac from driver's seat
Quarterback out indefinitely
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Elvis Grbac, who had rejuvenated Kansas City's offense in just half a season, will be out at least a month with a broken collarbone.
Grbac, the eighth-leading passer in the AFC, was slammed to the ground Monday night in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs' 13-10 victory against Pittsburgh.
After several minutes, Grbac rose and walked into the tunnel in obvious pain, and the Chiefs confirmed yesterday he had broken his left clavicle.
He will be replaced this week at
Jacksonville by backup Rich Gannon, a 10-year veteran. Chiefs' coach Marty Schottenheimer refused to speculate beyond that.
"I think it's best we look at in terms of he'll be out indefinitely," Schottenheimer said. "Everybody heals at a different rate and speed. I'm not interested in sitting here and speculating on how long he's going to be out."
The injury is not expected to end Grbac's season.
Ronald Glousman said, "It is very fortunate that the injury occurred to his non-throwing shoulder." Glousman is a sports medicine physician in Los Angeles who is affiliated with the Association of Professional Team Physicians.
"He could be playing again in three or four weeks, provided that the fracture has become stable and that he has regained functional use of that left shoulder. But regaining functional use of the nonthrowing shoulder is a whole lot different from regaining use of the shoulder he uses in throwing."
Schottenheimer said the Chiefs (7-2) did not plan to put Grbac on injured reserve.
"I told Elvis, 'We're going to go ahead and let Gannon play and keep the seat warm for you and get back so quickly as you can."
Drafted by San Francisco in the eighth round from the University of Michigan in 1993, Grbac, 27, spent four seasons as Steve Young's backup before signing a $20 million free-agent contract this year with the Chiefs.
Teaming with veteran wide receiver Andre Rison, Grbac has given the Chiefs a more potent passing attack. He has hit 174 of 300 passes for 1,892 yards, with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions.
