The FOX 31 News affiliate in Denver (not Kansas City) is reporting that KC running
back Larry Johnson is out for the season.

MyFox Colorado | Kansas City Chiefs' Larry Johnson Out for Season
Clipped from the Josina Anderson article:
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is out for the season with a broken
left foot.
This was confirmed by a source within the Chiefs organization with direct knowledge
of the situation.
According to the Chiefs initially, Johnson had suffered a mid-foot sprain in the
fourth quarter of last Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Packers.
However Anderson has learned that Johnson has a broken bone in the left foot.
PLEASE note that this is not official news. In fact, the team is denying this report.
A couple of things are worth noting. First, the story is coming out of Denver, not
Kansas City. Secondly, it's Johnson's right foot that is injured, not the left foot
as the story is written. Both those things make you pause.
On the other hand, Josina Anderson is a reputable source in Denver. She's had
breaking stories before with Denver players.
The only official word from the team is coach Herm Edwards saying that Johnson is
"highly questionable" for this week.
