Crennel says Chiefs’ Charles reinjured left knee
By ADAM TEICHER

Running back Jamaal Charles didn’t play much in the second half of Sunday’s loss in Buffalo because of soreness in his knee, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said.

Crennel said Charles was likely to be available in this Sunday’s game against the Saints in New Orleans.

But the situation bears watching. Crennel said the soreness was in Charles’ left knee. Charles tore his ACL in the same knee last season.

Soreness in the knee is normal after such an injury and the resulting surgery.

“He got banged up a little bit and then (the Chiefs) decided not to put him back in the game,” Crennel said. “He wanted to go back in … but the other guys were doing OK so we left the other guys in.

“I talked to him after the game. He said he wanted to go back in and he felt OK. He was getting treatment, so I think he’ll be ready to play this week.”

Charles was in for 21 plays against the Bills, fewer than either of their other two backs, Peyton Hillis and Shaun Draughn. Charles was also less effective.

He carried six times for three yards and also caught three passes for 19 yards. Hillis carried 11 times for 66 yards and had two catches for 25 yards while Draughn rushed five times for 56 yards and caught one pass for 23 yards.

I've got no problem with the Chefs benching Charles if his knee isn't feeling right. He is one of the few bright spots left on this team going forward.

JFC YOU ****ING BROKE DICK MOTHER****ERS YOU BETTER NOT **** UP MY FANTASY ROSTER.

Awesome.

Charles down. Crennel in the hole. Pioli smelling the breath of the wolverines and badgers and yaks at his neck. Cassel QB'ing this team. A lot a talent with no direction.

If the Patriot Way rushes Charles back into action unwisely and gets him seriously hurt again....

....well what more can be said that hasn't been said? I'm all out of hate.

:(

Haha 300 offensive touches.

...

Who cares, we don't need Charles we have this guy

Do we have to really have to wait to draft another QB?

0-16, here we come!

for once we are united, for the greater good...

DUH!

You bring him along slowly. Make Hillis the emphasis of the game plan and squeeze Jamal in there.

Instead it's been the opposite.

I'm officially starting the bandwagon.

I honestly don't get to watch alot of West Virginia but, I am liking him better than the others. He seems to have the tools but, is he clutch? Does he lead them back into games? Has he done that? I really don't want to draft a QB who hasn't done that in college. I think it is the key ingredient.

Exactly. Idiots. :shake:
