Just last week, Jamaal Charles looked like his old self. The 29-year-old former All-Pro was juking and cutting like he always has, on the way to a 26-10 win for the Chiefs in the Oakland Coliseum. Now, Kansas City is being hit with some scary news.
Head coach Andy Reid watched Charles go from a full to limited participant in practice on Friday after there was swelling in the repaired knee. Now, this doesn’t mean that Charles has a serious problem. He could simply be working his way back a bit longer than we expected, and his knee is just reacting to increased action.
