Chiefs rule out Kenneth Walker, NFL's No. 2 rusher, for Sunday's game in Atlanta with a groin injury
- On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs ruled running back Kenneth Walker III out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons following a groin injury sustained during Thursday practice.
- Head coach Andy Reid said Walker "tweaked" the area and arrived at the facility with tightness. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the injury is considered "minor" and the team is exercising caution.
- Rookie running back Emmett Johnson will handle the bulk of carries, having recorded 111 rushing yards and 237 receiving yards this season. Reid stated, "Everybody has confidence in him."
- Defensive tackle Chris Jones will not travel with the team for "personal" reasons but will join them in Atlanta, the Chiefs announced. Offensive lineman Jaylon Moore and defensive lineman Peter Woods are ruled out.
- Walker, who signed a three-year, $43 million contract this offseason, leads the NFL in rushing yards per game with 109. The 26-year-old remains on pace to reach almost 1,750 rushing yards by season's end.
