I still have hope. Can't write him off for this year just yet. He is still a bad ass.

LMAO

If Dr. James Andrews ever goes public, I'm buying his stock.

Not great news, but neither is not knowing whether Charles is going to be available each and every week. Need a tad of certainty with this. If he needs some "clean-up" in the knee(s), so be it. Just do it. Personally, I think he's heading to the IR. However, I think he'll return as a Chief next year too. I don't think he's done at all. In fact, I thought he looked pretty spry out there for the few carries he's had this year.

I don't want to see Charles playing for ANYONE but the Chiefs. If he retires, fine; if he is able to continue to play, play as a Chief. I don't want to see the man in ANY other uniform. EVER.

Reaves has looked solid in preseason. I wouldn't mind seeing what he does with better blockers in front of him.

He would be facing better defenders, so that's all relative.

But the idea of Reaves being our 3rd RB doesn't scare me by any means.

shame Fat Scott ruined the prime of Charles career with bad rosters, fraud coaches and terrible losing seasons

:(

I don't see why everybody is assuming this is bad. With Ware possibly being out with a concussion maybe they want to make sure Charles can play next week?

Agreed.

I'm assuming it is pretty normal for a player of Jamaal's caliber to get his ACL repaired knee checked out especially if it has gotten some swelling recently. Doesn't mean he is going to IR..

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what Dr Andrews says. Hopefully we get good news.

Good ****ing grief.

Are you people following the timeline? BOTH knees are swollen. He can't practice because and he's taken 12 snaps this season.

NO doctor is going to say "Yeah, sure, play on two swollen knees. No worries".

I don't think it's bad like most are assuming. I won't be shocked if he plays next week.

Face it folks, Charles' career with the Chiefs is going out with a whisper. Even healthy he is at best a rotational back playing behind Ware. The scheme is no longer catered to him and maybe that is a good thing. Last year Charles' absence forced the Chiefs to simplify in the run game, the line was allowed to play physical and straight ahead with less screen and draw plays.

Time to move on, and even if Charles manages to make some contributions this season, it really is gravy as the Chiefs seem comfortable moving ahead with Ware/West.

It sucks losing a home run hitter like Charles. But the Chiefs have proven they can win without him.

If this is the end, thanks for everything Jamaal, but time to move on. Football is a brutal and unkind sport. Next man up.

Either trolling or your dumber than I previously thought
