The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Charles told reporters his knee is at "about 80 percent," but he added that he has been "running and cutting and jumping" since four months after the injury. "I feel like I never had the surgery because I feel normal, I feel like I can do everything that everybody else can do and I can do it better," he said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Charles believes he's ready to fully participate in OTAs, but that he plans to defer to Dr. Andrews, who performed the surgery. Until then, Charles will try to remain patient - even though he obviously is anxious to get back on the field. "I'm hungry," Charles said. "I think it's good to wait it out for awhile," Charles said. "I'm hungry. I'm in love with it. I've got the passion for it. I can't wait to play football, but I can be patient with it." All this tracks with what we've been hearing all along: Charles is dead on schedule to be ready to begin taking part in training camp, although he's likely to start out working on a limited basis to play it safe. We'll also note the
arrival of free-agent signee Peyton Hillis, who will ideally serve as a complementary player, makes it easier for the team to take a cautious approach with Charles if need be.
