ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs placed running back Jamaal Charles on the physically unable to perform list Wednesday, though coach Andy Reid said it should not be considered a setback in his return from a knee injury.
Charles tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season. He had surgery soon afterward and was far enough along in his recovery that he participated in some drills during mandatory minicamp.
The Chiefs can take Charles off the PUP list whenever he is medically cleared, but that likely will not happen soon. Veterans do not report for the start of training camp until Friday, and even then Reid said he plans to take it slowly with his star running back.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police have released body camera footage showing a University of Iowa football player being questioned by police who were searching for a robbery suspect. The footage released Tuesday shows an encounter defensive end Faith Ekakitie described in a Facebook post earlier this week. He wrote that he was playing “Pokemon Go” in a public park when he was surrounded by police and searched at gunpoint. Ekakitie said he feared for his life but understood why police did what they did.
In the video, an officer can be heard telling Ekakitie to put his hands up. The officer says, “It’s probably not you, but we’ve got to double check.” Ekakitie tells the officers he’d been playing the popular smartphone game, which sends players to physical locations to “catch” virtual Pokemon characters. After the officers check Ekakitie’s ID, one thanks him for his cooperation.
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Tomas Telis homered and singled, driving in four runs and scoring a pair as the New Orleans Zephyrs defeated the Iowa Cubs 9-5 on Tuesday. Isaac Galloway doubled and singled for New Orleans. Down 1-0, New Orleans batted around in the third inning, sending 11 batters to the plate and scoring six runs, including a two-run single by Telis.
Following the big inning, the Cubs cut into the deficit in the next half-inning when Juan Perez hit a three-run home run. The Zephyrs later added two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. In the fifth, Telis hit a two-run home run, while Robert Andino hit an RBI double in the sixth.
New Orleans starter Justin Nicolino (5-4) picked up the win despite allowing five runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. Opposing starter Jake Buchanan (9-6) took the loss after allowing six runs and seven hits over four innings. Perez homered and doubled, driving home three runs and scoring a couple for the Cubs.
