</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The Chiefs led the NFL in rushing attempts last year with 34.8 per game. "We want to be a running team first and build from there. That part of it is not going to change," Haley said. The attempts will likely decline naturally a little, but Jamaal Charles is expected to eat a bigger part of the pie. After recording 230 carries a year ago, the 2011 Draft Guide projects him for 279 carries this year.

Charles is such a stud. 6 yrds per carry or something crazy like that. He led the Chiefs to a superbowl win last year too(@ least in my madden season). Chiefs pounded the ball on the ground last year and used Bowe to keep teams from really stacking the box. Hope to see him have a top 3 rb year

Coach Todd Haley confirmed the news Monday. Charles is just 24 years old with under 500 career carries worth of wear on his tires, so he's probably a better bet to return at close to 100 percent from this kind of injury. His recovery will be a big story all next offseason. No timetable for Charles' surgery has been announced, and we haven't heard whether his ACL tear was clean or involved other ligaments. He remains a long-term hold in Dynasty leagues, but the Chiefs will have to acquire another running back next spring.
