Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles needs a second surgery on his right knee, a source confirmed to The Star on Tuesday.
Charles, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in that knee in Oct. 2015, visited noted orthopedic surgeon James Andrews on Monday after dealing with swelling in recent weeks. Charles is expected to be placed on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates and Adam Schefter.
Charles logged season highs with 11 touches and 15 snaps against Oakland on Oct. 16 but missed Sunday’s game at Indianapolis after playing only two snaps against the Saints on Oct.
