Ex-Chiefs star Jamaal Charles to visit Broncos
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Jamaal Charles is scheduled to visit with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday.
If his surgically repaired right knee checks out, one of the greatest players in the Kansas City Chiefs' history could be joining their fierce divisional rival.
''He's had a great career with some setbacks due to injury, so we'll see where he is,'' GM John Elway told KOA-News Radio in Denver.
Charles ran for 7,260 yards and 43 touchdowns in nine seasons with the Chiefs, finishing as the franchise's career rushing leader. He also had 20 touchdown catches. But a career that looked as if it would land Charles in the Hall of Fame was derailed the last few years by injuries that cut short several seasons in his prime.
He tore his left ACL while taking an awkward step out of bounds in Detroit in 2011. He tore his right ACL against Chicago four years later. After missing the start of last season, Charles returned to play in only three games, carrying 12 times for 40 yards, before requiring more operations on his knees.
