The Facts: When the Chiefs closed their offseason workouts last month, Charles was on the field doing individual work but HC Andy Reid wasn't making any promises about his participation level when training camp opens. Still, Charles posted a video from one of his rehab sessions late last week that showed him making lateral moves while making his way through a set of drills with an agility ladder.

Diehards Line: Remember, Reid said the team was optimistic about what Charles would be able to do once it did get underway, but there was no rush to have him back to a full workload after last year’s torn ACL. While, that’s a prudent approach, it may not be one they have to employ for too long. As PFT notes, this isn’t the first time Charles has had to make a comeback from a torn ACL and that will surely cause the Chiefs to move cautiously with a player who projects as a key piece of their offensive puzzle. Having him full speed in September will be the goal, even if it makes for a quiet camp for Charles.
