Story summary

Running back Kenneth Walker III has been ruled out for the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a groin injury, leaving rookie Emmett Johnson to take the lead in the backfield. Walker, who is the NFL's second-leading rusher with 872 yards, missed practice on Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report. The Chiefs made the final decision to rule Walker out on Saturday, a day before their flight to Atlanta. With Walker out, the matchup was set to showcase the league’s top two rushers, but now only Bijan Robinson of the Falcons, who leads the league with 880 rushing yards, will compete in this category. Johnson, a fifth-round draft pick, has shown promise, rushing for 111 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries this season.
