On Tuesday, Dearborn District Judge William Hultgren adjourned Cullen's cases until Feb. 6.

Will it factor into team chemistry? Ten weeks, and it all comes down to one decision, right now. Hold that thought. Make it 10 weeks and a couple of more days. The Chiefs found out Tuesday night that their Pro Bowl quarterback has been cleared to play, but Edwards said that he won’t decide whom he’ll start against the Raiders until later in the week.
