{"id":2427,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2427","headline":"Chiefs' Kenneth Walker III questionable for Falcons game with groin issue","dek":"Walker missed Friday's practice after tweaking his groin, clouding his status for Kansas City's trip to Atlanta.","body":"Kenneth Walker III sat out practice Friday with a sore groin, leaving the Chiefs guessing whether their lead back will suit up Sunday against the Falcons. Coach Andy Reid said Walker had \"tweaked\" the injury and that the team would monitor him through the weekend, adding, \"We'll see. He's not one to say something like that (without meaning it).\"\n\nThe timing stings. Walker has run for 872 yards in his first season in Kansas City, sitting just eight yards behind Bijan Robinson for the NFL rushing lead despite playing one fewer game than the Falcons back. His average of 109 yards per game leads the league, and he has also made himself useful through the air, hauling in 22 catches.\n\nKansas City does get a bit of a silver lining elsewhere in the backfield picture: newly acquired wide receiver Josh Downs, picked up in a trade with Indianapolis, plans to play days after arriving. Whether Walker joins him remains unresolved heading into the weekend.","published_at":"2026-11-14T00:49:48.447166+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Chiefs RB Walker III Misses Practice With Groin Injury, Sunday Status Unclear","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/chiefs-kenneth-walker-iii-misses-practice-with-a-sore-groin-status-uncertain-for-sunday-in-atlanta"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Insiders share concerning injury update for Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/insiders-share-concerning-injury-chiefs-204649863.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Chiefs RB Walker (groin) misses practice, status uncertain vs. Falcons","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50473948/chiefs-rb-walker-groin-misses-practice-status-uncertain"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kenneth Walker injury update: Who's next RB on depth chart for fantasy?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kenneth-walker-injury-whos-next-194618425.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"RB Kenneth Walker III misses Chiefs' final practice session in Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rb-kenneth-walker-iii-misses-195833857.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chiefs' Kenneth Walker III misses practice with a sore groin, status uncertain for Sunday in Atlanta","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chiefs-kenneth-walker-iii-misses-201144057.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker's status vs. Falcons revealed","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chiefs-rb-kenneth-walkers-status-203220375.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Fantasy Football Injury Impact: Kenneth Walker's Groin Issue Teases an Emmett Johnson Emergence","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fantasy-football-injury-impact-kenneth-203635185.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kenneth Walker III uncertain for Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kenneth-walker-iii-uncertain-week-203556002.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chiefs-Falcons Week 10 Final injury report: Kenneth Walker is questionable","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chiefs-falcons-week-10-final-203351861.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Patrick Mahomes injury update: Start-or-sit advice for Chiefs QB in Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/patrick-mahomes-injury-start-sit-213235836.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kenneth Walker Injury Threatens Chiefs’ Rushing Momentum","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kenneth-walker-injury-threatens-chiefs-232857899.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
