This is exactly why I don't support Reid's constant full contact practices

From what I understand, Charles was just running. Contact did not cause the injury.

Yeah. Because this is the first injury in the NFL so far.

I, for one, preferred Haley's method of taking it easy the entire way through. At least that way we could lose all of our star players in the first game of the regular season instead.

this is exactly why I don't support ascribing false causation....non causa pro causa

Foot strain, X-Rays negative. Everyone breathe.

Nick Jacobs ‏@Jacobs71 4s

Per Andy Reid...Jamaal Charles has a foot strain. X-ray done. Negative. #Chiefs #Jamaal #Charles


Great news

Ah yes, the old..."prove that I still got in in preseason game 1 then fake injury to chill the rest of training camp move"...well done sir.

Ok. That's great news.

Charles doesn't need preseason anyways. Lets hope a backup emerges as a result.

Has his other testicle descended yet? Breaking news?

He needs to get his timing down for all of those dump off passes

Hopefully it's not a lis franc kind of thing.

This.

You need to be BANNED for even mentioning that...

SHUT UP. Don't even think such a thing!!!!!!

I hope the MRI comes up negative too. Would be real shitty if he has a nagging soft tissue injury. :(

That is when the foot breaks. The X-ray ruled that out.

No more Pre season for this dude. Sit sir. Don't even let him suit up.

Gotta have him healthy.

Charles is a tough mofo. He will be OK.

God I hate Twitter

#****youdie

Mother of **** I hate preseason

Well, I'm not relaxing just yet. I'd rather it was a twisted ankle than a foot injury. Those spook me.


Yeah, and people? The word you want is reckless. No W. Unless a new CP lexicon item has gotten by me.

The Twitter feed in the Training Camp thread just showed a tweet that said Jamaal walked to the cart then rode in the front seat. He said players often ride in the cart to avoid a large hill.

Still scary but much better than actually being carted off the field.

Absolutely my first concern as well.

Lot's of season-stalling/ending injuries have started as foot sprains.

I wouldn't exhale just yet.

X-rays on Jamaal Charles’ foot negative, Chiefs call it a strain
Posted by Josh Alper on August 12, 2013, 12:16 PM EDT

The Chiefs got a scare on Monday when running back Jamaal Charles needed to be carted off the field at practice after an injury, but it looks like serious injury was averted.

According to several reporters who were in attendance at Chiefs practice, coach Andy Reid said that x-rays on Charles’ foot were negative. There’s no word about other tests that might be performed to assess the extent of the injury, which Reid referred to as a strain, nor was there any discussion of a timetable for a return to action.

Should there be no further negative developments upon further evaluation, it doesn’t sound like the kind of injury that will keep Charles out of the lineup for an extended period. Whether that means that he’s well enough to play in this week’s preseason game remains to be seen, although caution will almost certainly be exercised with a player whose ability to make plays in the open field will be one of the focal points of the team’s offense this season

Deja Vu all over again...

only we would need to lose our best defensive player and a TE or something too...

maybe Alex Smith will get a kidney removed or something just to complete the curse

That's not entirely true.

A lisfranc injury can involve a break, but it doesn't have to. The lisfranc region is that spot at the middle/top of your foot where all those little bones hook together. My recollection is that Garrison Hurst broke those bones; his was a 'break' style of lisfranc injury.

But Darren McFadden? His was a sprain. MJD? He never broke anything either. Matt Spaeth just went down 8-10 weeks with a lisfranc sprain.

"Foot sprain" is a plenty spooky diagnosis, folks.

Plantar fascitis?

hate injuries to the feet ... almost always turn out worse than originally thought


sit Charles until the final preseason game



we need to develop our backups anyway

Its cool because a real QB like alex doesnt need his best weapon

I mean "no excuses" right?

i'm sure you are trying whine or cry about something ... not sure what it is this time though.

What great news on a shitty day.

Some of you are ****ing children.

This gives me an absolutely horrendous feeling in the pit of my stomach...

There must be a God, because the mfer absolutely hates the Chiefs...

Oh, and sorry in advance to all the people I've offended by calling the imaginary Guy In The Sky a mfer.

I'm sure he'll be fine. But if not we might need to call-up Priest (or call one) or Larry...

Let Charles rest this week and let knile get reps with the ones

:rolleyes:

All Chiefs fandom breathe a sigh of relief.

would rather make Draughn the #1 for the week.


put Charles in the workout pool and other low,low impact workouts

they should overreact imo and shut him down for at least a week

thx 4 posting -- see, now this is a guy who doesn't know enough about sports to understand the diff between Jamaal & Knile. there are several of these posters here JFYI :D

absolutely. Im sure Tom Brady isn't going to miss Wes Welker, Aaron the murderer or Gronk if he misses significant time.

Im also sure that Aaron Rodgers, isn't going to miss Greg Jennings Donald Driver, or Jordy Nelson.

And Kaep in no way shape or form is going to miss Crabtree.

lol.

Come on man. Its not like the Chiefs had a plethora of weapons to begin with.

yeah. Kniles will get destroyed against the 49ers ones. Put Draughn in. He is a one cut runner. That's what the Chiefs are going to need this week.

This is good news if you ask me, that means more preseason games that he won't have to play in. I fucking hate the preseason.

I don't understand this, while I believe he shouldn't be doing preseason games either, he did get hurt IN PRACTICE......

That's what Kniles is.

awwwwww freak out

Droughns...ugh. Again with this guy.

Seriously, Droughns isn't an NFL runningback. I'd rather see Gray get his carries; at least that guy has some potential.

He may be, but I didn't see that in the game on Saturday. I saw a tip toe burglar who ran indecisively. I don't want his confidence shattered going against a defense that stops the run better than anyone else in the league.

A couple of fumbles, and boom, confidence shot.....

My sentiments exactly.

I think we dodged the 50 caliber bullet on this one...

This................ Sucks, but shit happens.....

Sorta like this doode?

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/w...008-11-neo.jpg

Exactly what I've been saying.

You guys do know its KNILE, right? And DRAUGHN.

They need to earn the right to have their names spelled correctly. THIS...IS...CHIEFSPLANET!!!

We need to cancel practices too.

Fumble and Suck.

Works for me and easier to spell.

"Fumble is promoted to #1 for the next couple of weeks with Suck backing him up."

Yeah, that kinda rolls off the tongue. I think I'll go with that for a bit.

Nah, nothing that drastic.

But Charles should definitely be done for a good week or two.

I'm kind of anxious to see what Knile is capable of. He kind of has that running back name that says to me he can get 1,500+ yards. Knile Davis, I'm actually kind of glad we drafted him now.

Damn.

It's all about the name.

Who knew?

I dont have a problem with draughn. Id prefer cyrus or knile as a #2, but he runs hard.

Its so awesome being a chiefs fan

The only thing I could think of to top it would be being a flagellant

We'll get to find out, that's for sure.

About as much logic as the rest of your recent posts I guess.

Just put him in a hyperberic chamber 24hrs a day until the season starts.

my god. I think he just fumbled more in one game than most rbs do in a season in the NFL.

Jesus. Someone get Tiki Barber to teach this guy how to hold the ball up higher.

This is what happens when you put your faith in a RB instead of a QB.

http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos...5/johnsonx.jpg

If they can coach that out of him, we genuinely have another 1000+, 4.0+ yard average rusher. You can't deny the explosiveness, and he did his damage in the SEC which is respectable.

I have never questioned his explosiveness. But at this league, everyone attacks the ball. That is why I was the happiest that the Browns drafted Trent Richardson. He DOESNT FUMBLE. Watching Peyton HIllis fumble, was hazardous to my health.

Oxygen toxicity FTL

No vision.

Can't do jack in the NFL without it.

True. Its why even though Frank Gore is slow as a turtle now, he can still get 5 yards at will. His vision is unmatched.

If fumbling and indecisive running is cool consider me Kniles Davis.

Nice

Why do you think Timmy Smith set a Super Bowl record and then never started another game? Timmy Smith is not a running back name.

Don't like it. Was hoping it would be an ankle sprain. "Foot sprain"? No good...

Let's just try and remember what happened with Flowers last year.

I pretty much trolled this place for two weeks with my "Chiefs coverup Flowers injury" conspiracy. He missed one game in the end. ROFL

We'll see. JC going down really made me think about what we have in reserve. We have this guy who is fast and is an SEC proven rusher, which Reid & co. thought was deserving of a 3rd round pick. Not saying I liked the pick, but he is a Chief now so lets utilize him. I'm thinking swing passes to this guy could be extremely beneficial.

Evan Silva ‏@evansilva 3m
ESPN's @AdamSchefter reported #Chiefs are "privately" concerned about Jamaal Charles' foot. "Hoping for the best but bracing for the worst."

So you want see what a RB with no vision and stone hands can do as a receiver in the flats?
