Excited to have Jamaal Charles join the Broncos. A great addition to our backfield, and we're thrilled we won't have to play against him!

About 20 minutes prior to Schefter’s report, James Palmer of NFL Network tweeted that Charles had left the facility to undergo medical evaluations then returned to the facility – presumably to finalize the deal.
My understanding is Jamaal Charles is still in the #Broncos building. Arrived this morning, left to do medical evaluations, then returned.
