One of the three early ACL injuries for the Kansas City Chiefs came to a pretty important player -- RB Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs star running back tore his ACL against the Detroit Lions in Week 2 and that's a season-ending injury so, like S Eric Berry and TE Tony Moeaki, we haven't seen much of Charles this year.

But the Chiefs running back does indeed live on. He did a podcast with ESPN's Fantasy Football crew this week and they asked him when he would be able to return from his ACL injury.

"I think I should be ready by OTA's, working out with the team," Charles said (via Arrowhead Addict). "I got hurt early so I had a lot more time to like, to get myself back and it only takes six months. So by the time OTA's it should be like eight, seven months."

That would be sometime in May or June, which is great news for the Chiefs. It's never a good time for a player to tear an ACL but I suppose a positive out of this situation is that all three of those guys suffered the injury early in the year which gives them lots of time to rehab and get back at it next offseason.

I thought he had a really good year that first year back?

Also he played in game 1 the season after tearing it in January.

Not if we have a QB that can use the pass to open up the run for whomever is back there.

An ACL injury ruined Terrell Davis' career.

I hope all these injuries were a blessing in disguise, that we can move on from Cassel an dumbassery coaching in Todd Haley.

Next year should be fun.

Big difference in the surgery from then to now.

I'll be real surprised if all three of these guys aren't back to normal by the start of next years TC.

I remember Rod Woodson tore his ACL early in the season and came back and played in that years super bowl

They'll be all back to 99% physically. It's the mental aspect that might slow them down for a while.

He also had knee issues in college. I'm not familiar with Jamaal Charles' injury history in college.

He's had shoulder problems, but has never missed a game due to injury until this year

Obviously Terrell Davis is a gigantic pussy if that finished him off.

Probably the same thing will happen to Tebow if he ever gets a hangnail.
