What happened: Head coach Andy Reid announced Friday that running back Kenneth Walker III did not practice after reporting groin tightness. Walker's availability for Sunday remains undecided as the team evaluates his condition through the afternoon.
Why it matters: Kansas City holds a 6-2 record through eight games and currently occupies the No. 5 seed in the AFC. An absence for Walker would challenge backfield depth for an offense that has leaned on his league-leading ground production to dictate tempo.
By the numbers: Walker leads the NFL with 109.0 rushing yards per game in 2026, holding a 3.1-yard lead over Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs (105.9). Kansas City has gone 6-2 through its first eight games of the 2026 regular season.
What to watch: Kansas City will issue its final injury report and official game-day designation ahead of Sunday's kickoff.
