Its kind of tragic...in that the NFL gave Charles his identity. I'm not surprised he's the last to let go... and accept it. Horseface is just being a prick...as usual.
It is part of a knee recovery, Houston wore one during his 1st contact after coming back, how is Houston doing at Camp by the way?
I doubt they cut JC if they weren't in Cap hell. Not only did they cut their all time leading rusher but because of cap issues had to cut their #1 WR.
It is hard to carry all those stars who are aged vets with injuries when you are in cap hell. Houston, JC, Derrick Johnson, Hali is on the PUP. They just couldn't invest the time in money on him and it was time to cut ties.
Oh look at this article I just found re his brace:
For the last two days in Broncos training camp, veteran running back Jamaal Charles has sported a brace on his surgically repaired right knee under the premise that if it doesn’t work for him, he’ll scrap it.
“But right now, it’s a safe plan for me,” he said. “To build confidence back up with my knee.”
It’s a test period for the brace and Charles is taking it slow. Just as the Broncos are taking it slow with Charles as he works his way back from multiple knee surgeries that hindered his final two years in Kansas City.
With each day, he’s running more, making sharper cuts, often talking with younger backs to the side about their routes and finding their openings in Mike McCoy’s offense.
But the true tests will come soon, when the Broncos strap on pads Sunday and when preseason games begin next month. The Broncos signed Charles in May to an incentive-laden one-year deal. To get his full cut, Charles has to win a roster spot and maintain it. But both are hoping he regains more: his status as one of the game’s shiftiest and explosive backs.
And in the wake of losing second-year player Devontae Booker to a wrist injury for at least six weeks, the time and opportunity is ripe for Charles.
Charles was cleared for full participation in training camp, but head coach Vance Joseph made it clear that the training and coaching staffs wouldn’t rush him back. The veteran is eager to do so fully.
“I told them I definitely want to do more,” he said. “Right now, I’m happy with the system. They’re taking their time with me and I told them I want to do a little bit ‘thud’ (when players, wearing helmets and shoulder pads, hit but stay on their feet) and get hit. I want that, just to get my confidence up and see how my knee feels in pads and make people miss. Whatever they tell me to do, I’m just doing it day by day.”

On play one, Mahomes threw a bullet pass, which quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy called a “phenomenal throw”

As far as I'm concerned, this IS the season. Not a singular fuck given regarding what Reid and Smith are up to for 2017.
What did Mahomes learn/study/execute today?
What are Pat's responsibilities throughout the course of the regular season?
These are the things that define Chiefs football for me until the day MII takes over.
