Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles will miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his right knee.

Charles injured his knee in Sunday’s contest against the Chicago Bears and was unable to put weight on his right leg. The Chiefs feared a serious injury and it was confirmed Monday by an MRI exam.

Charles, in his eighth NFL season, has topped 1,000 yards five times during his Kansas City career. He’s the franchise’s all-time leading rusher with 7,220 yards.

Charles tore the ACL in his left knee in 2011 when he played in just two games.

Charcandrick West has been serving as Charles’ backup. The former Abilene Christian player has rushed 12 times for 48 yards this season.
