Chargers cornerback Flowers hopes to be able to play against former Chiefs teammates

Published February 05, 2015

Brandon Flowers hopes he's a quick healer.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming to town Sunday, and boy wouldn't Flowers love to be healthy enough to play against his former team.

Flowers was released by the Chiefs in June even though he was coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance. The cornerback quickly signed with the Chargers and leads San Diego with two interceptions.

But he was forced out of Sunday's win at Oakland with a groin injury and didn't practice Wednesday.

Says Flowers: "I definitely want to play. You best believe that if there's any chance I can play I'll be out there."

Flowers was released by the Chiefs because of his big contract and he didn't fit into their new system that favored bigger, more physical cornerbacks.
