MyFox in Denver is reporting that Larry Johnson will miss the remainder of the season with a broken right 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, it was later determined that Johnson had suffered a fracture.
According to the source, Johnson is seeking a second opinion on the injury. He arrived at the Chief’s practice facility on crutches Tuesday.
It’s important to note that neither the team nor Johnson has confirmed this report, so hold onto him until that happens. In the meantime, put in your waiver wire requests for Priest Holmes, who will get the bulk of the carries in LJ’s place. Kolby Smith also figures to see some time.
I guess all that talk about LJ breaking down this season wasn’t just idle speculation. It’s a shame – he was just hitting his stride.
