Charles, 29, has played in just three games this season, carrying the ball 12 times for 40 yards and a touchdown. Charles has torn his ACL in both his knees throughout his career, and Reid has been very cautious with him this year.

After missing this week’s 30-14 win against the Colts, Charles will be re-evaluated after undergoing surgery last year. Even though an examination doesn’t necessarily mean anything in itself, it’s never good news when a team feels Andrews is needed for a consultation.
What’s more, the Chiefs lost Spencer Ware, who had been starting at running back with Charles injured, to a concussion. Expect Charcandrick West to start next week if Ware does not pass the concussion protocol in time.
