ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher reports Jamaal Charles "hasn?t regained the role -- full-time featured back -- he had before last season?s torn ACL."
Teicher reports Spencer Ware is handling most of Kansas City's first-team running back reps in practice. Specifically, Teicher wrote that Ware "generally gets a lot of the starter?s snaps in practice. Charcandrick West gets some. Sometimes there are a few left for Charles, too."
On Tuesday, coach Andy Reid said Tamba Hali (knee) is "a little further along than what Jamaal is right now," in their respective recoveries. At this point, it's unclear what Charles' role will be in Week 1 against the Chargers. An early-year RBBC appears likely. Due to their backfield depth, Teicher suggests the Chiefs "can afford to take the longer view with Charles."
