Charles, who is dealing with a bruised foot, will be held out of Sunday's preseason contest against the Panthers for precautionary reasons, BJ Kissel of kcchiefs.com reports. We'll monitor Charles' status in the coming days, but at first glance, this doesn't appear to be a major concern for the star running back. With Charles out, the likes of Knile Davis, Cyrus Gray, De'Anthony Thomas and Charcandrick West are in line to handle the Chiefs' rushing duties Sunday.
