The Chiefs have placed running back Jamaal Charles on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates and Adam Schefter.
Charles, who is returning from surgery to repair a torn knee ligament, 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. 23.
He had swelling in his knee before the Saints game. He was listed as questionable for that game but was ruled out two days before the Colts game and visited noted orthopedic surgeon James Andrews on Monday to have the knee re-evaluated.
