Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (quadricep) returned to the practice field on Thursday on a limited basis, according to the official NFL Injury Report.
Expect the Chiefs to take it easy with Charles, who did not practice on Wednesday.
Various Chiefs media members observed Charles participating in warmups and drills during Thursday afternoon’s practice session open to the media.
And barring a setback, none saw a reason to be alarmed over his availability for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys:
