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.
