Chiefs' Jamaal Charles sprains foot in practice
The Kansas City Chiefs — and fantasy football players nationwide — can exhale.
Star running back Jamaal Charles was driven off the Chiefs' practice field Monday morning, but X-rays revealed no serious damage, head coach Andy Reid told reporters in St. Joseph, Mo. The injury to Charles' foot is being treated as a sprain.
Charles rushed for 1,509 yards last year after missing almost all of the 2011 season with a torn ACL. He has three 1,000-yard seasons in the last four years.
The Chiefs have little experience behind Charles with rookie Knile Davis, second-year player Cyrus Gray and 25-year-old Shane Draughn.
