Entering the season, the Chiefs were loaded with talent and depth at running back. Jamaal Charles, coming off knee surgery, was back. Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West had filled in admirably in Charles’ absence, and Knile Davis was a capable stand-in.
But as the Chiefs prepare to meet the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, only West from that group will play. Charles has been placed on the injured reserve after having his meniscus trimmed earlier this week. Ware is out after suffering a concussion in last week’s victory over the Colts, and Davis was released three weeks ago and has since been released by the Packers and Jets.
