The Facts: So far so good on Jamaal Charles. "Every time I see him," said OC Mike McCoy, "he says, 'I feel great.'" Charles has missed 24 of 32 games over the past two regular seasons, and he told me — at least as of now—he has zero knee pain. Denver's looking to get him eight or 10 touches a game if he can survive.

Diehards Line:This according to MMQB's Peter King. ... Charles signed a one-year contract with the Broncos this offseason. Denver was in need of a running back to join C.J. Anderson after trading Kapri Bibbs to San Francisco in exchange for a 2018 fourth-round selection. Charles was released by the Chiefs in February after nine seasons in Kansas City. Remember, Charles boasts the highest yards-per-carry average in NFL history, but recurring knee injuries have kept him off the field for most of the last two seasons. With Devontae Booker recovering from wrist surgery, Charles' track record for production when healthy is worth noting. If Charles can flash some of his old burst and long speed as the season draws near, he's going to be of interest. ... Stay tuned.
