"Assembling a successful offensive game plan for the struggling Chiefs was going to be difficult enough for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Todd Haley's task has become harder now that he's preparing the Chiefs to play Pittsburgh without leading receiver Dwayne Bowe, who was suspended by the NFL for four games for violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The Chiefs last week lost their leading rusher when they released Larry Johnson. They were able to find a way to beat the Raiders 16-10 with Jamaal Charles rushing for more than 100 yards. But Bowe was their leading receiver in Oakland, with six catches and 91 yards. The Steelers are also quite a bit more ..."

"They were smiling in the locker room, and that has been an unusual thing to see after Chiefs games this season. The Chiefs had won their second game of 2009, and their wide receivers had as much to do with it as anyone. On one side of the visitors locker room at Oakland Coliseum, third-year wide receiver Dwayne Bowe put on a hat, slipped on a pair of noise-canceling headphones and left. On the opposite side of the room, Chris Chambers discussed what it meant to be part of a win, part of an improving wideouts unit, and part of a reliable tandem alongside Bowe. Chambers said that Bowe has plenty of potential. But… "He's young," Chambers said. "He's got some growing up to do." That became ..."

"Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. League spokesman Corry Rush announced the suspension in an e-mail, and the Chiefs have acknowledged Bowe's suspension. In a news release, the Chiefs said Bowe’s suspension will begin immediately. "As a result of the league suspension, the team will have no further comment," the Chiefs' news release said."

"Dwayne Bowe joked about the old man in the corner, and Chris Chambers wondered aloud whether he could learn a thing or two from the student. "He doesn't listen to me," Bowe said with a laugh. As the most inconsistent and frequently upgraded position group inches toward noticeable rhythm, the two Chiefs receivers are benefiting from the other's presence. Bowe finally has a wingman, and Chambers has a receiver who relieves pressure while he proves he still belongs. Bowe, the young receiver, was immature. Bullied by coach Todd Haley. Miles from his potential. Chambers, the old guy, was given up on by San Diego. He's 31. That's ancient in his universe. Now they've landed in the same ..."

"Their personalities clashed at first, and they can admit that now. Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe can admit this too: It was a fight he was never going to win. Bowe said this week that his first months as coach Todd Haley's whipping boy were humbling, demeaning, confusing and … "Interesting," he said. "Very, very interesting." Bowe smiled. "Now it's better," he said. Bowe entered this season as an overconfident, unreliable and supremely talented receiver. Haley approached Bowe and, perhaps for the first time in his career, forced him to forget the show and just catch the ball. That wasn't easy. Bowe likes to put on a show. "One of the first things I said to Dwayne was: 'Don't give me your ..."

Injuries don't help Chiefs' chances

"The Chiefs needed all the help they could get Sunday against the Eagles, and it didn't help that wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and inside linebacker Derrick Johnson were inactive. Both were listed as questionable Friday, after the Chiefs' final practice before traveling to Philadelphia. Bowe had an injured hamstring, and Johnson said he strained his groin. Johnson had told reporters that he wouldn't play against the Eagles, but Bowe's absence was more of a surprise. Mark Bradley started in place of Bowe and caught a touchdown pass from Matt Cassel. Bradley also completed a 26-yard pass to running back Jamaal Charles on a trick play."
