KANSAS CITY, Mo. NHL Jerseys Sale . -- Jamaal Charles made it through every hit from Derrick Johnson, every shot from Eric Berry and every tackle from the rest of the Chiefs defence during three weeks at Missouri Western. It wasnt until he was leaving their training camp home that he got hurt. Charles was in the process of moving out of the dorms last Thursday, when the team was getting ready to shift the rest of camp to their own practice facility, when he came to a grassy slope. He wound up slipping just a bit and turned his foot just enough to set alarm bells ringing. X-rays and MRI exams ensued, and Charles did not make the trip to Carolina for Sunday nights preseason game against the Panthers. And while all the tests came back negative, coach Andy Reid said Monday that hes unsure just how long the explosive running back will be out. "Hes feeling better today. Were optimistic about it," Reid said. "Initially there was a little concern, but he had all stuff done to it and everything is clear." Reid did not say whether Charles will practice this week, or whether hell be available when the Chiefs host the Minnesota Vikings for their third preseason game Saturday night. "I dont know if there is any other guy in the league like him. You cant replace him," Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said, "but thats the NFL. Its every team. If a guy goes down, the next guy has to step up and we got to go. We all have to take up the slack as a group." The health of Charles is hardly the only cause for concern in Kansas City these days. The Chiefs offence has failed to score a touchdown on eight series spanning two preseason games, netting only a pair of field goals against the Panthers. That production was clearly hurt by the loss of Charles, who is arguably the most valuable player on the entire roster. The defence has continued to give up big plays, particularly in the downfield passing game against a secondary that is still missing Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry to his own injury. Carolina put up two touchdowns apiece in the second and third quarters on Sunday night. Fundamentals remain problematic -- things such as blocking, tackling and route running. And the yellow laundry that littered the field did little to make Reid feel good about discipline -- Kansas City was flagged 13 times for 131 yards compared to four times for 32 yards for the Panthers. "Really, penalties were a significant issue," Reid said. "Weve got to a better job." Delving deeper into the issues facing Kansas City: -- The performance of the offensive line has been mediocre at best. Left tackle Eric Fisher, the first overall pick in 2013 draft, was soundly beaten several times by the Panthers pass rush, and the rest of the front five fared little better. -- The defensive backfield is still struggling to adapt to the loss of Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers and starting safety Kendrick Lewis. Ron Parker, Marcus Cooper and Sean Smith are all trying to earn a cornerback job, and all three were penalized during the game. -- The wide receiver race is still begging for someone to step up, particularly with Dwayne Bowe suspended for the season opener. Bowe had five catches for 62 yards against Carolina, but the rest of the wide receivers combined for just seven catches for 91 yards. "It felt like we were able to move the ball but just couldnt finish," Smith said. Of course, not everything is doom and gloom with two preseason games remaining. The pass rush was effective in getting after Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, and it already appears that first-round pick Dee Ford will fit seamlessly with fellow outside linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. And kicker Ryan Succop, being pushed by Cairo Santos, may have solidified his job by kicking a 54-yard field goal against the Panthers. Then theres Travis Kelce, who missed all of his rookie season with a knee injury. The tight end caught a long touchdown pass against Cincinnati in the Chiefs preseason opener, and caught a 43-yard scoring strike from rookie Aaron Murray on Sunday night. "I do like what he is doing. He just has to keep coming with it," Reid said. "Theres more than just the route running. You have to be able to run block and detail all of your work there. You sure have to give him credit for the effort that he has given." Discount NHL Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. NHL Jerseys China .

Mecklenburg County Judge Rebecca Thorn-Tin sentenced Hardy to 18 months probation. A 60-day jail sentence was suspended. Hardys attorney Chris Fialko said hell appeal and Hardy has asked for a jury trial in superior court. In North Carolina that means the terms of Hardys probation are on hold until the trial -- so hes free to travel with the team to training camp and compete in games. A date for the jury trial hasnt been set. The Panthers released a statement Tuesday night saying, "We have just learned of the verdict and are respectful of the process. We do not have a comment at this time." Hardy and his agent Drew Rosenhaus refused to comment as they left the courtroom together. The judge didnt buy Hardys testimony that he was the one abused by the accuser and that he had asked her to leave his downtown apartment during a domestic dispute on May 13. After nearly 11 hours of hearing testimony, Thorn-Tin told a sombre Hardy that "the court is entirely convinced Hardy is guilty of assault on a female and communicating threats." Earlier in the morning the accuser testified that she was assaulted by Hardy at his apartment after a night of drinking. She also said Hardy threatened to kill her and put his hands around her neck. "He looked me in my eyes and he told me he was going to kill me," said the accuser, a 24-year-old cocktail waitress in downtown Charlotte. "I was so scared I wanted to die. When he loosened his grip slightly, I said just, Do it. Kill me." The accuser said she had used cocaine on the night of the incident and had been drinking. She described Hardy as jealous and controlling, mentioning several times that Hardy didnt allow her do some things because he often paid her rent. She said she didnt immediately give police a statement out of fear of retribution. "He had told me in past if I took food out of his familys mouth he was going to kill me," the accuser said. Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys. Hardy and his business manager Sammy Curtis both testified that Hardy never hit nor threw the accuser, and didnt communicate threats. Hardy said the accuser became angry when he wouldnt have sex with her and left the room to sleep in the living room. He said the accuser then became angry and began slamming doors. Hardy said the accuser then asked him, "Do you want to see crazy? Ill show you crazy." Hardy said she threw herself into the bathtub, causing the bruises she had on her body. Hardy said she also threatened to kill herself if she left his building. However, Thorn-Tin seemed more inclined to believe the testimony of the accuser and the prosecutions top witness, Christina Lawrence, another woman who was in Hardys apartment at the time of the incident. Lawrence said she was sleeping in the other room with a friend of Hardys when she heard scuffling and fighting and what sounded like a woman being slammed into the wall and dragged across the floor. She said she also heard the accuser say, "What are you going to do, break my arm?" Hardy and his accuser began dating last September, but had broken up at the Pro Bowl in February. Hardy said they had had sexual relations "five or six times" since. Hardys play on the field has been dynamic. Hes been a key member of Carolinas second-ranked defence, finishing last season with 15 sacks. The Panthers led the league last season with 50 sacks. In four seasons with the Panthers, Hardy has 33 sacks, 26 in the last two seasons. He signed a $13.1 million, one-year contract in March as the teams franchise player. Its unclear at this point how the verdict will affect Hardys long-term future with the Panthers. The team is particularly sensitive to domestic violence issues, particularly in light of their history with wide receiver Rae Carruth. Carruth was found guilty of conspiring to murder his girlfriend, Cherica Adams, who was carrying his child. He was sentenced to 18 to 24 years in prison and remains in jail. ' ' '
