Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles "Doubtful" to Play on Sunday vs. Chargers

The veteran running back is unlikely to play

When the Kansas City Chiefs take the field on Sunday afternoon against the San Diego Chargers, they'll most likely be doing it without the franchise's all-time leading rusher Jamaal Charles, who will be listed as "doubtful" for the game, according to coach Andy Reid.

Reid told reporters on Friday afternoon Charles "probably won't play," as he continues to work his way back from the torn ACL that cost him most of the 2015 season.

In his place, Charcandrick West, Spencer Ware and Knile Davis will share the backfield for the Chiefs.

West and Ware combined to rush for more than 1,000 yards with 10 touchdowns during the team's franchise-record 11-game winning streak last year.

Charles was the only player Reid mentioned on Friday, which means veteran linebacker Tamba Hali— despite not playing at all in the preseason—will play on Sunday against the Chargers.

Hali is second in franchise history with 86 career sacks.
