The Kansas City Chiefs have officially ruled out running back Kenneth Walker for Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a groin injury that emerged this week.
Rookie Emmett Johnson is poised to make his first career start in Walker’s absence. Johnson has accumulated 111 rushing yards on 26 attempts with a touchdown, adding 14 receptions for 237 yards and a score through the air.
Kansas City also elevated running back Nate Carter from the practice squad for the contest. While Carter has yet to appear in a game this season, he logged seven appearances for Atlanta last year, totaling nine carries for 60 yards.
Additionally, the team announced that defensive lineman Chris Jones will not travel with the team due to a personal matter. Jones is expected to travel to Atlanta independently and carries no game status designation.
The Chiefs also elevated wide receiver Jacob De Jesus from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
