The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Charles was nursing a quadriceps contusion on Monday, and HC Andy Reid was hopeful he’d be ready for Sunday’s home opener against Dallas. “He does have a range of motion,” Reid said, “but we’ll just see how he does here over this week. He is moving around … he’s OK.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Charles suffered the injury in the second half of the season-opening 28-2 win at Jacksonville. He returned for one carry when the Chiefs were leading 21-2 but was shut down for the rest of the game and finished with 16 carries for 77 yards rushing, including a 2-yard touchdown, and with three catches for 23 yards. When Charles left the game, he was replaced by second-year man Cyrus Gray instead of rookie Knile Davis, who had been running second team in the preseason and even started the second preseason game when Charles was out with a foot injury. But Davis has had a history of fumbling, and he’s still learning the nuances of pass protection, so Reid went with Gray, who appeared in 10 games last year as a rookie, mostly on special teams.
