Jamaal Charles has bruised foot; not considered serious

The Chiefs will be without their top offensive player in Sunday night’s exhibition at Carolina. Tailback Jamaal Charles will not play vs. the Panthers because of a bruised foot, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday.

The good news? Charles’ injury looks to be minor. According to ESPN.com’s Adam Teicher, the club “didn’t appear concerned that the injury was serious.”

Per B.J. Kissel of the Chiefs’ website, the decision to hold out Charles was “precautionary.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Second-year pro Knile Davis is the top backup to Charles and Sunday night will be a good chance to see what he can do. The Chiefs also have Cyrus Gray, De’Anthony Thomas and Charcandrick West in reserve at tailback. The team called the injury a "freak thing" because he actually hurt it after practice moving out of his dorm room, the latest reports said.
