Jamaal Charles to visit Dr. Andrews this week
The Kansas City Chiefs are going to be without Jamaal Charles for a considerable amount of time if this visit does not go well.
Kansas City is 5-2 and things are going swimmingly, but there are some serious concerns about the amount of injuries on the offensive side of the ball. In the win over the Indianapolis Colts, the Chiefs watched left guard Parker Ehinger go down with a sprained knee, while Spencer Ware and Alex Smith each sustained concussions.
Now, head coach Andy Reid is telling the media that Jamaal Charles will be visiting Dr. James Andrews in Alabama this week. Whenever you hear that name, you know it could be a very bad situation. One has to wonder if the 29-year-old is done after his second ACL surgery.
Hopefully it turns out that Charles can come back at some point this season, but that seems like anything but a certainty. Add in that general manager John Dorsey went out and signed a running back to the practice squad, and there are real concerns whether the Chiefs believe this will turn out well.
With Ware coming off a concussion and Charcandrick West running well, there are some mixed feelings on the backfield right now. West needs to keep playing well, and stay healthy, or else this becomes a nightmare behind whoever is playing quarterback.
