Broncos RB Charles To See Action Versus Packers

DENVER (CBS4) - Broncos running back Jamaal Charles will see his only preseason action Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers.

"Jamaal's going to play a lot this week," head coach Vance Joseph said. "I'm not sure how much, but a lot. It's going to be Jamaal's shot to go do his thing. He knows it. He's ready."

Charles signed a one-year deal with the Broncos that could be worth nearly $4 million.

"I've wanted to be a Bronco since I was a little kid when I looked up to John Elway and saw how he carries his team and Terrell Davis at running back. That inspired me as a little kid," Charles said of the two Hall of Famers. "I just like the way the organization was back then."
