Ryan Leaf's appearance has slightly changed. (Montana Department of Corrections)
Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was released from prison on Wednesday, the Montana Department of Corrections has confirmed.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft had been serving time in Montana since being arrested in March 2012 on burglary and drug charges. Leaf, who was trying to steal prescription pills, broke into two homes in one weekend in 2012.
In May of that year, Leaf pleaded guilty to several charges, and was sentenced to five years in prison. Leaf was supposed to spend at least 15 of those months in a treatment facility, however, he was kicked out of treatment in January 2013.
Although he's out of prison, Leaf is still on probation and has been placed under the supervision of the Great Falls (Mont.) Probation and Parole Department.
There's still a chance the Leaf could be extradited to Texas for a crime he committed in 2008. In the Texas case, Leaf pleaded guilty to seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. Leaf violated the terms of his Texas probation when he was arrested in Montana.
According to the Great Falls (Mont.) Tribune, it would take at least six months for an extradition to Texas to happen.
Two years in prison has slightly changed the way the 38-year-quarterback looks, something everyone on the Internet seemed to notice when Leaf was released.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles not expected to miss any time due to knee swelling
In Monday's press conference, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said running back Jamaal Charles dealt with swelling in his knee during Sunday night's loss to the Denver Broncos. When asked about the status of Charles, Reid stated, "I think he'll be OK this week." Charles received 14 touches for 59 total yards, including a 12-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.

The optimism from Coach Reid is reassuring. However, his use of Charles in the divisional game is not. Charles' practice report will be something to monitor throughout the week, but given that he didn't miss any significant time during the game, all signs point to him suiting up in Week 14 versus the Cardinals. Fantasy owners can only hope the 14-touch performance was a precaution due to the injury and not a sign of how Coach Reid will use his best offensive weapon throughout the fantasy playoff weeks.
