kansas city chiefs Larry Johnson     kansas city chiefs  Priest Holmes

Larry Johnson, running back for the Kansas City Chiefs won't be playing this week against the Indiannapolis Colts.  Johnson's ankle was injured 2 weeks ago while he was tackled from behind by Green Bay Packers A.J. Hawk. The swelling has subsided but the NFL player is scheduled to meet a foot specialist on Monday. The Kansas City Chiefs are officially calling it a mid-foot sprain despite a report of a broken foot last week.

In the previous 2 seasons Larry Johnson has rushed for more than 1,700 yards and was starting to come around prior to his injury by going over 100 yards 3 times in 5 games.

Priest Holmes is substituting for him after missing 2 years due to a spinal injury. Holmes, a 3 time Pro Bowler looked good in his first full game last week, rushing 65 yards on 20 carries despite a 27-11 loss to the Denver Broncos.
