Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (head) passed his concussion tests and is expected to play next week, according to the Kansas City Star. Charles was knocked out of last Thursday's against the Chargers with a brutal helmet-to-helmet collision with LB Donald Butler. It was initially called a neck injury, so the concussion test may have just been a precaution.
Jamaal Charles passes concussion test, fantasy status to be monitored
Jamaal Chalres passed his concussion tests and expects to be fine for next week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Charles was struggling before the injury, with only 39 yards on 12 carries.
Fantasy Impact: The good news here is that Charles now has 10 days to rest up after the TNF game. The question is just how effective he can be - with the laughable QB situation, defenses have been keying on Charles because they don’t respect the passing game.
Charles will have a tough fantasy matchup against the Steelers in Week 10, but I would continue starting him. He's too good to keep on the bench when healthy.
