The Sidelines : DeBerg Released From Hospital

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Steve DeBerg was released from the hospital today, but said he did not know if he could play Sunday.

“It’s throbbing right now,” DeBerg said of the broken finger on his left hand that he suffered Sunday. “Hopefully, the pain will lessen and I’ll be able to handle the pain part of it.

“I’m not exactly sure I can play this week. I think we’re going to be able to put something on it and protect it.”

Officially, DeBerg was listed as questionable. Whether he or Steve Pelluer will quarterback the Chiefs on Sunday may not be known until Thursday or Friday.
