Chiefs coach Todd Haley says that Tyler Palko will start Sunday night's game against the Steelers, but the newly acquired Kyle Orton would be available as a backup.
Orton, released this week by the Broncos and claimed off waivers by the Chiefs on Wednesday, will not join his new team until Friday.
"He had a couple of personal things he had to attend to," Haley said.
