    If Kenneth Walker III is on your fantasy team, watch the injury report: the Chiefs running back missed Friday practice with a tight groin and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Atlanta Falcons (3-6).

Receiver Josh Downs intends to play days after he was acquired in a trade with Indianapolis.
