Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles Is 'Fine' After Injury In Philadelphia Eagles Game
With about a minute left in the first half of the Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Matt Cassel found Jamaal Charles for a short pass on the right side of the field.
Charles took the reception 20 yards to the Eagles 49-yard line where he was pushed out of bounds by Eagles safety Nate Allen.
After the play, you could tell something was wrong with Charles as he came off the field and trainers looked at him. He appeared to be holding his arm.
What was worrisome is that Charles had offseason shoulder surgery. It kept him out of the Chiefs OTAs and Todd Haley said last week that it's something the Chiefs are taking into consideration, even though Charles is healthy at this point.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports now that Charles "just landed awkwardly on his funny bone last night. He's fine."
I didn't think it was anything serious though you never know since the Chiefs are tight-lipped about player injuries.
We'll see if it's anything that will limit him in practice this week. The last thing the Chiefs need is for Charles to enter the season banged up (although he played well on a shoulder injury last year).

Long time lurker first time poster.
Glad too see it was just a funny bone. But as we all know getting hit on the funny bone hurts like hell and we all turn into 5 year old girls when we do hit it.
Glad to have you aboard Big Chief
Welcome!

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
welcome to the realm of posting Big Chief
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Nothing funny about cracking your "funny" bone...
Makes perfect sense, though. Because the hit didn’t seem like that much…and I wondered why he seemed to be in so much pain. Now, I know.
10 + wins in 2010. Chiefs SHOCK the NFL!!! Mark it down.
A big thank you.
Really appreciate it guys. I absolutly love Arrowhead Pride. I am a native kansan, and have lived here all my life. I have loved the chiefs since I saw my first game in 1986 or so when I was 5 years old and I truly appreciate a site where i can speak freely about my opinions on them, and get positive debate from the community.
Welcome
Smile, its the second best things you can do with your lips!
im so glad
I was like he’s gonna have so much potential this year and be injured and not even get to play. So happy he’s ok plus he’s on my fantasy team!

Every running back in going to be "banged up" after Week 1 anyway.
Unless there is a bone sticking out somewhere he’s fine. Rub some dirt on it and get back in there.
phew, I was kind of worried about it...I thought charles was in a lot of pain(makes more sense now though with the funny bone)
im glad hes ok
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
gotta admit
i was worried when it happened i was worried this morning when schefter tweeted it was his elbow and i was much relieved when it was his funny bone.
I don't think it has to do with how he landed...
Whoever tackled him put his helmet right into is elbow and right as it happened I grabbed my elbow cause it looked like it hurt.
I want a championship team in KC.
I'm a MU fan..And so is the guy in my picture in yellow w/his arms raised high while surrounded by all blue.
