It turns out that Charles bruised his foot while carrying a box from Scanlon Hall, the players' dorm at Missouri Western State University, to a nearby parking lot last week when the Chiefs broke training camp.

Charles did not accompany the Chiefs to Charlotte, North Carolina, for Sunday night's 28-16 preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers.

"He came down a grassy slope there and just kind of rolled his foot over on the curb," coach Andy Reid said. "It was that simple. That was it. He went up to [trainer Rick Burkholder]. ... He was hurting that night, and the next day he woke up and he was feeling a little bit better, and he's feeling better today.

"We're optimistic about it. Initially there was some concern. He had all the stuff done on it, the X-rays, the MRIs and all that done on it. Everything is clear."
