The Facts: Charles joined the Broncos in May, stung after the Chiefs "fired" him. While expectations remain tempered, Charles flooded the conversation with optimism Tuesday. In an exclusive interview with Denver7, Charles revealed that he sits ahead of schedule in his recovery from left knee surgery. "I am doing everything. I have been cutting the last couple of days with the guys during the offseason workouts. I feel like the way I am cutting that I am back to the normal me, man. It feels good to be moving around again," said Charles, who was limited to eight games the past two seasons because of knee injuries.
Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Charles had surgery on both knees last year as he worked back from an ACL injury that ended his 2015 season. He appeared in just three games with Kansas City last year before landing on injured reserve. He rushed for just 40 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown before his season came to an end. Recent reports have suggested that Charles has a 50-50 chance of making the final roster. The more he can get on the field in August, the better his chances will be.
