The injury list in Week 2 starts with Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles, who suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Thursday is podcast day at the Culver City, Calif., offices of NFL.com and NFL Network. Both Rich Eisen and Dave Dameshek will tape their latest podcasts today –- but there is even more significance this week.

A group of 10 elite running backs have earned their place on NFL Network’s “The Top 100 Players of 2011″ series. Kansas City Chiefs blazer Jamaal Charles (No. 33) and St. Louis Rams mainstay Steven Jackson (No. 38) were revealed in Sunday night’s telecast. NFL Network analyst Marshall Faulk, one of the greatest running back to ever suit up for the Rams, thinks Jackson deserved to be higher. The rankings are based completely on votes from NFL players. “When you look at what he brings to the table, he’s a complete back,” Faulk said on Sunday night’s “Top 100: Players of 2011 Reactions” show. “He can take it the distance, he gets the tough yardage, and yes, he carries the […]

With more running backs sure to come up in the 40 remaining names on NFL Network’s “The Top 100 Players of 2011,” let’s investigate a different way to measure their productivity.

Ten. It’s more than Bo Derek in 1979. It’s even more than Pearl Jam’s best album. Right now, 10 is how many days we have left on the Path to Primetime. You might be wondering what that number means in the lexicon of the NFL draft.

NFL Network analyst Brian Billick opened his running back chat on NFL.com on Tuesday by saying that the value of today’s running back as been diminished, not because of skill, but because team are not putting a high value on the position. That shouldn’t matter to Mark Ingram.

Fantasy owners — get out there and vote Patriots RB Danny Woodhead as the new Madden cover boy!

Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli made a surprise media-center appearance Saturday morning, then received a surprise himself.

Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe did his best Chris Johnson touchdown-celebration dance in front of the Titans RB himself and Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles at Ohana Day. I can neither confirm nor deny that it was good.

The NFL Network research desk has sent along some postgame stats from the Ravens’ 30-7 win over the Chiefs. Some good numbers to chew on here, but Chiefs’ fans, you’re not going to like what you read.

It was award season on NFL “Playbook” Wednesday, as the crew made their picks for three end-of-season awards.

Without a doubt, Week 17 of the 2010 season brought us a lot to chew on from a statistical standpoint.

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel is throwing touchdowns again. Just a few weeks outside of an appendectomy procedure that threatened to wreck the Chiefs playoff hopes along with some of your fantasy hopes. That is great news. Not so much if you are waiting for WR Dwayne Bowe to get back track. Cassel has already thrown two touchdown passes against the Titans, both to RB Jamaal Charles. The bigger concern for Bowe owners is if the Chiefs put this game out of reach early in this game (and the Chiefs are driving again). That would mean more attempts for Charles and RB Thomas Jones, less targets for Bowe. That point, however, has just been rendered moot because of a long touchdown […]
