Terrance Knighton expects to see a lot of Jamaal Charles

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton has admitted that he and his teammates are anticipating a heavy dose of running back Jamaal Charles when they face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Charles received the ball just 11 times in his side's opening-day defeat to the Tennessee Titans, and the Knighton feels that the All-Pro will be more involved in their clash at Sports Authority Field.

Knighton told the club's official website: "When you have probably the best player on your team, probably - if not the best running back in the league - when you see him only get seven [carries], it puts up a lot of red flags.

"So he'll definitely get a lot of touches this week."

The Broncos opened their season with a 31-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
