Reid: Walker sat out practice with tight groin

Key Points:

• Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker missed Friday’s practice due to a tight groin, with his game status for Sunday against the Falcons uncertain; if he cannot play, Emmett Johnson is expected to take on a low-end RB1 role.
• Emmett Johnson had a breakout performance in Week 8 with 128 yards and a touchdown on five receptions, showing upside as a valuable backup and potential FLEX play if Walker is sidelined.
• Walker has been a high-end fantasy RB1 this season, despite some recent down games linked to team losses, and is expected to remain a top option against the Falcons if healthy.
• Several other players have injury concerns heading into Week 10, including Dont’e Thornton (back, questionable), Ladd McConkey (back, doubtful), and Cowboys players Joey Porter (ankle, questionable), Jake Ferguson (knee/ankle, out), and Tyler Goodson (ankle/knee, out).
• Ravens players Vega Ioane (shoulder/knee) and Rashod Bateman (calf) practiced fully and are expected to play Monday night, while others like David Njoku (fibula) remain limited but could return soon.
