Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles will see orthopedic surgeon James Andrews again on Monday

INDIANAPOLIS Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles will see orthopedic surgeon James Andrews on Monday to have his surgically repaired right knee looked at once again.

Coach Andy Reid said the Chiefs are being as cautious as they possibly can with Charles, who missed Sunday’s game and only played two snaps the previous week after a two-game stint in which he was active.

“We just can’t get that thing to where it needs to be for him to play,” Reid said.

For the season, Charles, 29, has logged 12 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. He originally tore his anterior cruciate ligament over a year ago, in the Chiefs’ Oct. 11, 2015 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Injury report

Quarterback Alex Smith left the game in the first quarter due to what was feared to be a concussion. He passed the concussion protocol and returned to the game in the second quarter. He left the game again in the third quarter after another blow to the head and did not pass the concussion protocol. He did not return. He finished the game 9-of-19 for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Running back Spencer Ware suffered a concussion in the second quarter. He did not passthe concussion protocol and did not return.

Left guard Parker Ehinger left the game in the third quarter with what Reid called a knee sprain. He did not return. He was seen wearing a large brace on his right knee and limping out of the locker room on crutches following the game.
