Johnson ruled out

Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards confirmed on Wednesday that running back Larry Johnson would not play in Week 10 due to a right mid-foot sprain. "What I've been told... from our doctors is that his foot is still (swollen) and they're still trying to look at it to find out exactly where he's at," Edwards tells the Kansas City Star. "All I know is what I just told you." Priest Holmes will start in his place, and rookie Kolby Smith will also see some of the action. The Chiefs are facing the league's worst run defense in the Broncos, but it's tough to know what to expect out of Holmes and Smith. It doesn't help that the Chiefs starting tackles were also out on Wednesday.
