Report: Charles may miss opener
Published 3:21 pm Friday, September 2, 2016
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Jamaal Charles of Port Arthur may miss the season opener against the San Diego Chargers.
NFL.com and ESPN.com reported on Reid’s press conference.
Charles is still rehabilitating an ACL tear he sustained in Week 5 of last season against the Chicago Bears and did not participate in preseason games. But Kansas City is deep in the backfield with Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West returning.
“I think Jamaal is going to need a little time to keep working to get himself back,” Reid said on ESPN.com. “We’ll see how he does after a couple of days off.”
