Kansas City Chiefs Running Back Larry Johnson Out vs. Raiders

No surprise here. From Herm's press conference:

Q: Any update on Larry Johnson's injury? Has he been reevaluated?

EDWARDS: "Same thing. He's getting rehab, is going to be out this week. Feeling a little better."

With Priest's status for the game this weekend in doubt, if LJ was even remotely healthy then he would dress. The Chiefs know that putting Kolby Smith in as the featured back could have disastrous results. Nothing against the rookie, but he hasn't gotten many reps and our offensive line isn't exactly at its best. I don't think LJ is even close to playing. Several different sources are citing that LJ is indeed done for the season. But, the official site hasn't said anything yet.

Also

PFT is reporting that LJ does not need surgery to correct his foot. LJ has claimed since last week that he is fine walking without the boot.

My prediction

is that he's done for the season.

LJ didn't want anyone to know

This is why the Chiefs have been so mum on the LJ injury situation:

"There is something between a doctor and a patient, and if the patient doesn't want the information out there, he's (the doctor) obligated, as we are under the rules of HIPPA, to not go into it," Peterson said. "We're just going to give what we're required to give by the National Football League for a lot of reasons."
