APKansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles left Thursday night’s game against the San Diego Chargers midway through the fourth quarter after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Chargers linebacker Donald Butler.
Charles had caught a pass over the middle from quarterback Matt Cassell and fought through a tackle by Chargers defensive back Corey Lynch. As he slipped through the attempted tackle, Charles fell backward as Butler came in on Charles from behind. They hit helmet-to-helmet and Charles remained down on the field.
Charles was attended to before walking off under his own power.
UPDATE 12:35 a.m. ET: Charles officially left the game with a neck injury. According to Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star, Charles said he felt he could have gone back in but was told he was done for the night.

Pioli, Crennel, and Daboll all need to leave the NFL because of the hit. The hit that is the 1-7 KC Chiefs.
He’s on my fantasy team…crap! Wish him a speedy recovery (and not just bc he’s on my team). That’s a big blow for KC, he was their ONE playmaker.
Anybody else done with McCluster? He’s invisible to me…….
They should let Jamaal play QB and dump off a pass to Cassell as 3 defenders are bearing down him for helmet to helmet hit.
On the Chargers Victory formation, kneel down play at the end of the game…… I thought Dontari Poe played really well. He seemed to fire off the ball and read and react to what was going on quickly…..nice job!
The whole team left the game..
Romeo should be handed a pink slip by 7am tomorrow morning…
God KC is garbage.
Broken collarbone. Watch the hit again. Out 4-6 you heard it here first!
My condolences to u KC Chiefs fans …it must really be painful ….god bless u guys
“Damn! I knew I should have only given him five carries again…”
Ever wonder why Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers’s rarely get tipped passes for pick sixes.
It ‘s because they are accurate!!!!!!!

Impossible. Guided by the New England Holy Trinity of Pioli, Crennel, and Cassel, the Chiefs are well on their way to football immortality, since it is well established that anyone who has ever been connected to Holy New England is incapable of error. Josh McDaniels and Charlie Weis are living proof of this.
Daboll is a terrible oc.
i hope charles is ok, not just cause he’s on my ff team though.
i LOVE butler though, one of the few solid charger draft picks over the last few years
Cassel is going to get someone killed. His performance was Feeley/Harrington/Lemon/Beck/Henne-Esque
The old AFL was a lot more fun to watch.
all those first round picks on the defense and they’re still horri-awful.
Could you imagine trying to having to diagnose Romeo Crennel for a concussion?
Crennel didn’t know that J. Charles was knocked out of the game…
