The Atlanta Falcons will face another AFC powerhouse this weekend when they host the 6-2 Kansas City Chiefs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. However, the Chiefs may not have one of their top weapons as running back Kenneth Walker missed Friday's practice with a groin injury.
Walker was officially listed as questionable on the team's Friday injury report. Head coach Andy Reid said that Walker, offensive lineman Jaylon Moore and defensive tackle Peter Woods were all held out on Friday, according to ESPN reporter Nate Taylor.
The Chiefs running back ranks seconds in the NFL with 872 rushing yards. While he still trails Falcons running back BIjan Robinson by eight yards, Walker has played one less game this season. The former Super Bowl MVP has been a major
difference-maker for a Kansas City team that missed the playoffs in 2025.
The #Chiefs list RB Kenneth Walker as questionable with a groin issue that popped up today. Sounds like he’s got some work to do to get ready for Sunday but we’ll see how the next two days go.

The Falcons are dealing with a few key injuries of their own. Rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch has been ruled out with a hamstring injury while linebacker Divine Deablo is doubtful for Sunday's game due to a forearm injury.
Atlanta listed three other players - edge rusher James Pearce, linebacker Josh Woods and defensive tackle Gervon Dexter - as questionable for Week 10.
