The Kansas City Chiefs will be without running back Kenneth Walker III during their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after the star rusher sustained a groin injury at practice this week.
But, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Walker's injury is "not a long-term concern," and Kansas City is simply "playing it safe" by holding the Super Bowl LX MVP out in Week 10.
Though head coach Andy Reid hasn't officially released a timeline for Walker's return, the Chiefs might not be without their star running back for long.
Take a look at Schultz's full update on Walker's injury status, which was posted to his official Twitter account on November 14:
Sources: #Chiefs star RB Kenneth Walker (groin) is OUT for Sunday’s game vs the #Falcons.
I’m told the injury is not a long-term concern, but the team is playing it safe. pic.twitter.com/ODtxiueYp1

Walker has been Kansas City's single most important offensive weapon this season, so his absence on Sunday could be disastrous for the 6-2 Chiefs, who are still fighting to make up ground in the AFC West standings.
