Jamaal Charles injured (X-rays negative, foot strain)

[Bills Buff 1]

ESPN just reported Charles being carted off. Will link updates...

 

Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reporting that X-rays are negative and that it is a "foot strain"

Matt Miller @nfldraftscout
My #Chiefs source says they don't think issue with Jamaal Charles is serious, but rather precautionary.

 

[heavy-set 39]

the o-rings dont matter either

 

[montana 89]

He was riding shotgun not laid out in the back. Doesn't sound serious.

[Bills Buff 1]

Stating now on ESPN that it looks to be an ankle injury, not a knee injury.

 

Speculating on my own: That's good news. Ankle injury, that seems to be less that serious, probably shutdown for the next week or two. Getting him ready for the season opener.

 

If it turns out to be nothing, I'll just delete the thread.

Just took this video of the update by SportsCenter. Sorry for the crappy sound quality, but figured it could give a better idea:

He was hurt on a non-contact play, just making a cut. He limped off the field, then was carted away for medical attention. Andy Reid is going to update the situation shortly.

That sounds like it could be trouble IMO..

[Mike FF Today 709]

Reid is calling it a foot strain. X-rays were negative. For now, I don't think it's anything to get too worked up about.

Poor Kid just cannot stay healthy; he and McCluster.

Hope no one is really counting on him to be their #1. Likely to be better off with Foster or, even, RunDMC.

[DrG 102]

Bumped him down on my board until he plays again

[smashmouths@blf 33]

Non-story....maybe....

[stonewall 647]

Might actually bring his price down into a range where a person can afford to draft him.

[huskerinct 1]

Does this sound like a lis Franc to anyone else?

I was targeting him as my #1 RB in my auction. Guess we'll just have to watch and wait......

[Cstriker 2]

it does sound like a lis franc

[Djgb13 2,339]

it does sound like a lis franc

 

If it turns out to be so the already small pool of RBs just got smaller....

[patweisers44 749]

Too soon to give him his own nickname like Fragaal Charles?

[Frozenbeernuts 1,888]

Knile Davis?

[TwentyFourSeven 23]

Report on rotoworld is that the chiefs are more concerned behind closed doors about this injury

 

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4617/jamaal-charles

 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter Monday the Chiefs are "privately" concerned about Jamaal Charles' strained right foot.

Per Schefter, the Chiefs are "hoping for the best but bracing for the worst." Charles will likely undergo a Monday MRI to determine the full extent. X-rays confirmed Charles avoided a fracture, but a mid-foot sprain could cost him a lot of time. The full damage has yet to be formally revealed. Aug 12 - 2:05 PM

Knile Davis?

That's my question.. Got a dynasty rook draft tonight and am wondering whether to move Knile Davis into my top 10..

[huskerinct 1]

I'm telling ya..... lis Franc.

[TwentyFourSeven 23]

ESPN's Ed Werder reported Monday Chiefs coach Andy Reid and GM John Dorsey believe Jamaal Charles' right foot injury is not "a matter of serious concern" based on the initial diagnosis.

On Sirius XM Radio, Reid went so far as to suggest Charles could return to practice on Tuesday. Preliminary signs point to a day-to-day injury for Charles, despite a previous report of "private" concern over the ailment inside the Chiefs' organization. For now, Charles is only thought to have a foot strain. Aug 12 - 2:57 PM

Fock me, I already drafted the guy in my main league. I'm waiting with bated breath here.

That's why you draft right after the 3rd week of preseason!

[TwentyFourSeven 23]

A source with knowledge of the situation tells Profootballtalk that Jamaal Charles (foot) is "fine."

The source offers up nothing more. The Chiefs have already said Charles is dealing with a foot strain, and X-rays later confirmed that there were no broken bones. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Charles is walking around but is "having trouble pushing off." He'll almost certainly be held out of this week's exhibition game. Charles' timetable for recovery is currently unknown. Aug 12 - 8:24 PM

Tell that to the commish

[Maulers1973 117]

We draft on Labor Day weekend.

[mgs316 14]

People draft when they can draft. We do it all in person and coordinate it with a charity golf tournament that is the third weekend of August. It is what it is.

[Stacks 0]

If your draft was this Friday, would Charles drop on your board?

[heavy-set 39]

I'm telling ya..... lis Franc.

I hope they're right. I'm sold on him being a potential top 3 RB in PPR, this year. Maybe this will drop his $$ a few bucks.

[mgs316 14]

I had Westbrook...I mean Charles pegged for my #4 pick non-ppr, now I'm scared.
