Chiefs fear Jamaal Charles has torn ACL
The Kansas City Chiefs are fearing the worst with Jamaal Charles, but they are hoping for the best.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs fear Charles suffered a torn ACL on his non-contact knee injury Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
The immediate fear is that #Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles tore his ACL, source says, based on initial tests. He'll have an MRI to learn more.

Charles went down while trying to make a cut against the Bears (video here). Any time a player goes down on a non-contact play it is a serious concern.
Charles suffered a torn ACL injury in Week 2 of the 2011 season. He returned the following year and posted a career-best 1,509 rushing yards, so there is at least a small silver lining if he is seriously injured.
