Charlatan showed sign of injury and shuffled along (8)

I believe the answer is:

shambled

'shuffled along' is the definition.

'charlatan showed sign of injury' is the wordplay.
'charlatan' becomes 'sham'.
'showed sign of injury' becomes 'bled'.
'sham'+'bled'='SHAMBLED'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for shambled that I've seen is " walked unsteadily".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
