ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles made his training camp debut Tuesday, though trainer Rick Burkholder downplayed his arrival by calling it simply part of the process.Charles had been on the physically-unable-to-perform list the first three weeks of camp, spending his time going through rehab with the Chiefs training staff. Charles underwent surgery last season to repair the ACL in his right knee, which he tore in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.This was the next step in the fine-tuning process, Burkholder said. Well tweak his rehab so that he gets closer to playing. Its an absolute day-to-day process. Well evaluate every day.Charles only did stretching and light drills with the running backs before returning to the locker room area, but Burkholder said that things went according to plan.The next couple of days he may do exactly what he did today, but well keep feeding him more of practice until we can get him back into where hes ready to play in the game, Burkholder said. We have to take him off PUP to allow (running backs coach) Eric Bieniemy and Coach (Andy) Reid to evaluate him.Charles missed the Chiefs preseason opener Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, and it appears unlikely that he will play against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. But the four-time Pro Bowl running back hardly needs the preseason work and the priority is getting Charles ready for games that count.The Chiefs opener the regular season against San Diego on Sept. 11.Reid did not speak to reporters Tuesday, but special teams coach Dave Toub said everybody was excited to see (Charles) was out here.Its just good to see 25 out on the field, he said. It lifts everybodys spirits.The Chiefs did well without Charles last season, ripping off 11 straight wins -- including their first playoff win in more than two decades -- behind the one-two punch of Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware.In fact, the Chiefs thought so much of West and Ware that they signed them to long-term contracts in the offseason, envisioning a three-headed monster when Charles is added to the equation.Each of them has a unique skillset. Charles is an all-around back with the best hands of the bunch, West is a small, shifty runner and Ware provides a physical, bruising complement to both of them.As for getting Charles back in the mix, Burkholder said: He did fine in my mind.

Perhaps as a hitter, too. Minor homered for his first two RBIs in the majors and struck out 10 as the Braves posted their second win in a matter of hours, beating the New York Mets 6-0 Saturday for their eighth straight victory. "Hes been fun to watch," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said, later adding, "hes a good athlete." Earlier, Dan Uggla hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and the Braves won 7-5 in the resumption of a game suspended because of rain Friday night after eight innings with the score tied. Minor (6-2) then pitched 7 1-3 innings of three-hit ball, sending the Mets to their fifth loss in a row overall and eighth straight at Citi Field. Minor was hardly a force at the plate coming in -- he was a paltry 8 for 108 (.074) in four seasons, striking out in exactly half of those at-bats. He perked up for his first two-hit game in the majors. "Streaky," he kidded. In the third inning, Minor singled to become the Braves first baserunner of the game, and a bat boy brought him a warmup jacket on a blustery, cool evening. The next time up in the fifth, with a light rain, the 25-year-old lefty never had time to get chilly. Despite gusts that kept knocking down fly balls, Minor hit a two-run drive inside the left field foul pole off Dillon Gee (2-6) that broke a scoreless tie. "Got to have power, like me," Minor said with a grin. Minor homered for the first time since his senior year of high school, and it touched off a five-run burst. Minor connected after a two-out single by Chris Johnson, and they smiled the whole way from home plate back to the bench. Minors teammates celebrated the shot, too, and big first baseman Freddie Freeman hugged the pitcher and playfully jumped up and down with him in the dugout. Catcher Brian McCann, however, reminded Minor that there was still work to do on the mound. "Didnt try to live in that moment of the home run," Minor said. The Braves got six straight hits in their surge, including doubles by Justin Upton and Andrelton Simmons and singles by Jason Heyward and Freeman. "All of a sudden, seemed I just got in the stretch and I just lost it," Gee said. "I got to keep looking forward, keep working hard. If I keep looking back on the past theres nothing good there right noww," he said.dddddddddddd There was a brief delay when Minor batted in the seventh because the wind whipped up the dirt and blew more than 150 hot dog wrappers and other pieces of debris all over the field. Stadium workers cleared the mess when the half-inning ended, shortly after Freemans second RBI single. There was a fireworks show after the game. The seats were nearly empty, with few bundled-up fans sticking around. The Braves and Mets took 42 minutes to complete the resumption, and there was a 36-minute break between the games. The suspended game picked up right where it left off, at the start of the ninth inning. There was no national anthem, fans were scattered in the stands and it was cloudy and windy with temperatures in the low 50s. After Upton grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners at the corners in the Atlanta ninth, the Braves won it in the 10th. Freeman, who homered Friday night before the rain came, drew a leadoff walk from Brandon Lyon (1-2) and took third on a double by McCann. Uggla, who hit a late home run the previous night at Citi Field, followed with his tiebreaking single. B.J. Upton later squeezed home pinch-runner Jordan Schafer. Anthony Varvaro (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth. He worked the eighth a day earlier and gave up two runs that made it 5-all. Craig Kimbrel escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the 10th for his 15th save in 18 tries. The Braves previous suspended game was April 5, 1997, against the Cubs -- it was the second game ever played at Turner Field and was stopped because of rain in the seventh inning. Atlanta won the resumption the next day. The Mets lost in their first suspended game since Aug. 6, 1986, when the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs was halted after the seventh for darkness -- Wrigley Field didnt have lights then. The Mets won the completion the next day. NOTES: The Braves pitched their fourth shutout of the season. The Mets have been blanked three times. ... Atlanta has won five straight at Citi Field. ...
