More bad news for a Kansas City team that has lost two straight and must now face a pissed-off Colts team - the Chiefs will be without Larry Johnson for a second straight game as the star running back recuperates from a foot injury.
Johnson, who rushed for more than 1,750 yards each of the past two years, was injured in the fourth quarter of Kansas City's 33-22 loss to Green Bay in Week 9.
Chiefs President and GM Carl Peterson said Johnson will see a foot specialist on Nov. 19. The club also indicated that they'll stick with veteran RB Priest Holmes as their starter while Johnson is out. The three-time Pro Bowler had 65 yards on 20 carries in his first start in more than two years Sunday against the Broncos.
Currently, the Chiefs are listed as 15-point road underdogs in Indianapolis this Sunday.
