KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs coach Andy Reid had just declared Alex Smith out with a head injury, announced Jamaal Charles was undergoing knee surgery and revealed that Spencer Ware had yet to pass a battery of concussion tests.Then it started to rain.It was a fitting soundtrack for a stunningly gloomy midweek briefing.Reid went on to say defensive lineman Jaye Howard is dealing with a hip flexor injury and offensive lineman Mitch Schwartz will be resting his sore ankle in practice. There is also the belief offensive lineman Parker Ehinger is done for the season with a knee injury.Its part of the National Football League, Reid said with a shrug.The biggest news was that Smith, whose head was slammed off the hard turf in Indianapolis twice last weekend, had been ruled out for the Chiefs game against Jacksonville.Smith passed concussion tests after both of the hits, the second of which knocked him from the game, but decided to err on the side of caution.The decision was made after consulting with an independent neurologist, talking with Reid and others in the front office -- including team owner Clark Hunt -- and having the results of his concussion tests reviewed by a concussion expert at the University of Pittsburgh.Theres no blood test where you can go in and take it and they say, `Yeah, you have a concussion, Smith said. Ive got three little kids. You only get one brain, far as I know. The last thing I wanted was to go out there and yeah, something happens again and all of a sudden youre asking different questions.Im not ready for that, Smith added. I dont want to be thinking about any of that.Nick Foles will start in his place on Sunday and Tyler Bray will serve as the backup, and Smith and Reid both expressed confidence that he will be available the following week at Carolina.Any kind of head trauma, whatever you want to call it, time to heal is important. Precaution here was the weighing factor, Smith said. This was a decision we came to together.Foles was sharp in relief last Sunday, going 16 of 22 for 223 yards with two touchdowns and no picks in a 30-16 victory. While he does not have the scrambling ability of Smith, he has a bit more arm strength that could give the Chiefs a different look against the Jaguars.I feel pretty good that hes got a grasp of the offense, Reid said. We didnt have to change anything when he went in. I wasnt looking at the sheet, wondering what I can call and cant call.Just who Foles will be handing off to Sunday is another question.Charles had exploratory surgery Wednesday to determine why there is lingering pain in his surgically repaired right knee. The operation was performed by Dr. James Andrews, who has repaired both of the running backs ACLs, and the belief is that Charles may have some meniscus damage.Hes been placed on injured reserve, which means he will miss at least eight weeks. The four-time Pro Bowl running back could conceivably return for the playoffs, though that appears to be a longshot.Since hes come back from this rehab hes had pain in both knees, its gone back and forth, Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said. He had some damage in that meniscus before. Dr. Andrews wants to see if it has a little flap in it or something thats causing the discomfort.His loss is compounded by the fact that Ware is still going through the NFLs concussion protocol. The Chiefs fill-in is unlikely to play against Jacksonville, even though hes not been ruled out.With only Charcandrick West available on the active roster, the Chiefs signed former second-round pick Bishop Sankey to shore up the position. Sankey has been on the Patriots practice squad, and Reid said it is possible that he will be active against the Jaguars.Hes got to get caught up, quickly, if hes going to be in there, Reid said.The Chiefs also waived linebackers Sio Moore and Sam Barrington this week. They used the roster spots to add offensive lineman Mike Person and promote linebacker Terrance Smith from the practice squad.The net result has been a chaotic three days for the Chiefs (5-2), who are a half-game back of Oakland and Denver in the AFC West after rattling off three consecutive wins.Weve all got confidence in each other, Reid said, so we go out and next man comes in and goes. Were not going to have to do a whole lot of different things. Well just play.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Xavier Rhodes Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings returned to their hard forechecking ways and got a needed win.Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking short-handed goal midway through the second period and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2.Derek Forbort and Tyler Toffoli each had a goal and an assist and Devin Setoguchi and also scored for Los Angeles. Peter Budaj made 26 saves.After going winless in their last four games on the road, the Kings returned to Staples Center and found the key piece of their game that had eluded them on the road.For us, its the read, shutting down and getting in on the forecheck, Setoguchi said. When we forecheck well, thats usually when we create our opportunities.Darnell Nurse and Oscar Klefbom scored for the Oilers, who have now lost five straight games to fall to 2-7-1 since starting 7-1-0. Jonas Gustavsson made 21 saves.Oilers coach Todd McLellan said Carters short-handed goal hurt the most but Edmonton was ultimately doomed by another slow start.It seems to vary from night to night positionally, McLellan said. Whether its a D-man with a turnover, the forwards coughing something up and not getting in position at the right time. Its certainly something were aware of, were concerned with and trying to fix.Trailing 2-0 after the first period, the Oilers scored twice in the second to tie it before Carter scored at 9:06 of the middle period.Nurse made it 2-1 with a shot off the crossbar 3:44 into the second. A little under five minutes later, Klefbom tied it when he caught a pass in the slot and lifted an impressive backhand shot off the crossbar and behind Budaj.ddddddddddddBut just 34 seconds later, Carter won a faceoff and Toffoli led a 2-on-1 rush that resulted in Carters game-winner.We didnt get the save, but there were other mistakes on it, McLellan said. I thought it sucked the life out of us for a little bit.Setoguchi scored off a rebound with 6:45 left to play to make it 4-2, his third goal this season and third since the 2013-14.I didnt think we were that good in the first couple of periods, Setoguchi said. Then, in the third we had a couple good shifts back-to-back and we were able to score on one.Forbort scored his first goal of the season to put the Kings on the board 5:09 into the game. Toffoli then gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead a few minutes later when he tapped in a centering pass from Carter.There was a bunch of traffic down there, (Kyle) Clifford made a good play and I was lucky it went in, Forbort said.
