Chiefs' Charcandrick West: Returns to practice Tuesday

West (elbow) practiced Tuesday, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports.

Analysis:

West's elbow has been giving him some problems as of late, but his return to practice indicates that he is either close to full strength or willing to play through the pain. West has shown some flashes of his potential in his short tenure with Kansas City, and with the injury-prone Jamaal Charles standing as the only rusher ahead of him on the team's official depth chart, West is certainly someone to keep an eye on moving forward.
