Chiefs Monitor Walker Ahead of Falcons Game
Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III missed Friday’s practice with a tight groin and was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. He has 872 rushing yards in eight games, eight fewer than Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson despite playing one fewer game. Coach Andy Reid said Kansas City would monitor Walker’s recovery and would not risk playing him if he was not ready; if Walker is out or limited, rookie Emmett Johnson is expected to take on a larger role, and Reid expressed confidence in him. The Chiefs expect receiver Xavier Worthy to be available, and newly acquired Josh Downs is preparing to play after joining the team in a trade with Indianapolis. Atlanta will be without rookie receiver Zachariah Branch, while several other defenders are listed as questionable or doubtful.
