Less than a year removed from suffering a torn anterior cruciate that ended his 2011 season, Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles feels as though he has regained something that eluded Austin Powers in “The Spy Who Shagged Me” and currently is missing from Mike Mularkey’s first training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"I feel better. I feel good. I feel like I got my mojo back,” Charles said Wednesday, via the Kansas City Star. “I feel happy, I feel comfortable out there and I’m ready to go.”
Charles did add that he needed to take care of his body, such as icing his knee, which suggests that the Chiefs will take a cautious approach with the 2010 Pro Bowl player during the preseason. Kansas City beefed up its backfield with the signing of Peyton Hillis and added Cyrus Gray in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
"That’s the goal,” Charles said. “We’re here to win. ... We’re trying to go to the Super Bowl, or win the AFC West. We’re trying to do everything to help our team win."
