He's played 21, 20 and 21 snaps in the Broncos' three games, respectively, and finished with 40, 46 and 56 yards rushing in those games. Charles sees it as building momentum for more.
The Broncos will have some choices to make about the division of labor in the run game when Booker is ready to play, which is expected to be fairly soon. But Charles said he's ready for whatever the plan is and has left concerns over his knees in the past.
"I just believe if something is going to happen it's going to happen," Charles said. "This is important to me ... I want to help us get to where we want to go and I always felt like I could get back to this point."

I'd ride Charles as long as I could and if he breaks bring in Booker
