KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs coach Andy Reid called the prognosis of Jamaal Charles all positive on Wednesday, increasing the likelihood that the injured running back finally will get on the field this weekend.Charles has not played since Week 5 last season, when he tore the ACL in his right knee. He was back on the field for training camp and has been splitting time with the scout team and first team in practice, but the four-time Pro Bowl selection has not been active for a game.Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West have been filling in for him .You know, I think the longer you can wait with him the better it is, Reid said, even though I think he probably thought he could play today, or tomorrow or whatever. I just think well see how this week goes. Another week I think it going to help him.The Chiefs play the New York Jets on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.Charles could provide a jolt for an offense that has been slow out of the gates . Kansas City has only managed a field goal in the first half of each of its games.The resulting deficits have forced the Chiefs to abandon their run game, easily the strongest part of their offense. Kansas City is averaging 5.4 yards per carry, fourth best in the league, but is only handing off 19 times a game -- more than only five other teams.With a quarterback in Alex Smith who excels at controlling tempo, the Chiefs have been unable to dictate the pace of games with their deep stable of running backs.Its frustrating, West said, but in the end it all falls back on us. We have to get the offense going, make sure we dont get in those situations where we need to rely on the passing game. I mean, we got to take responsibility for that too, get the offense going.Charles is certainly not going to fix all of the Chiefs ills, but if he is truly close to 100 percent, his game-breaking ability is unlike anything Kansas City has on offense.Even his understudies appear willing to admit it.I mean, hes Jamaal Charles, West said. Hes been back, for me, in my eyes, for a while.The Chiefs actually got by quite well without Charles last season, ripping off 10 straight regular-season victories and winning a postseason game. But nobody in the Kansas City locker room Wednesday was under any pretense that the Chiefs are better off without him.Who knows when we get him back? Thats obviously up to the docs and how hes feeling, Smith said. But hes a one-of-a-kind player, without a doubt. Theres not many guys who have that skill set and those capabilities. Whenever we get him back, were going to be happy to have him.This week would be an opportune one: The Jets have one of the most fearsome defensive fronts in the NFL, one that is allowing just over 71 yards rushing per game.I think the way our backs are playing right now, the way Spencer and Charcandrick are playing, its nice not to have that pressure and hurry (Charles) back when hes not ready, Smith said. These guys have been really dynamic for us. Its nice for the organization, the coaches and Jamaal not to get pressured. They can make the right decision for his health.Game notes SS Eric Berry had some knee swelling, but was on the practice field Wednesday.

Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Andrew Dodt faced his challenges from Adam Scott and Ashley Hall on Saturday, but he held them off to retain the lead of the Australian PGA Championship at the end of the third round.Dodt is 14-under par for the tournament, two shots ahead of Hall and the USAs fast finishing Harold Varner III, who are in a tie for second at Royal Pines.Scott faded fast to be in a tie for fourth, four shots off the pace.But Saturday afternoon was all about the other Queenslander - Dodt.He struck three bogeys and five birdies in his two-under round, but he was no less consistent than those around him as heavy winds threaten to bring with them a late afternoon storm.Playing partner Hall faced the same struggles. He was faultless on the front nine, but bogied his last two holes to also be two under for the round.Varner then began to handle the conditions best. He hit eagles on the 15th and 17th, but bogeyed the 18th for a five-under round.For a moment too, Scott threatened to launch an all-out assault.After sinking a 10-metre putt to eagle the ninth, Scott went outright second and was just one shot off the lead.Then it all went pear-shaped for the world No.7.Dodt birdied the ninth to extend his lead and Hall eagled to retake second.In rresponse Scott found the water on the 10th, the trees on the 11th, the bunker on the 12th and then the water again on the 13th.ddddddddddddSomehow he escaped with just two bogeys from the horror run, but it was enough to blunt his charge before a late birdie helped him finish two under for the day.Hes now joined by the Australian veteran John Senden, perhaps the last of those still in contention after a consistent error-free round of four under.The same cant be said about New Zealander Ryan Foxs third round.After starting tied for third with Scott, he finished one over for the day after bogeying three of his first five holes.He remains sixth, but now seven shots off the lead.Englishman Steve Webster and Australian Sam Brazel earlier equalled the best round of the tournament with seven-under 65s.It shot them to equal sixth and 12th respectively, telling given Brazel was forced to watch the live scores of the last group on Friday evening from his hotel to see if he would made the cut at two over.Im stoked, Brazel said.I just let it go. Making the cut was nice and then freewheeled it today. ' ' '
