LJ Out This Week

One of the NFL's most feeble offenses is almost certain to be without its star running back for at least a week, and possibly longer. Larry Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl player, has a sprained right foot and is highly questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, Kansas City coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday. Edwards declined to speculate on how long Johnson might be out, saying he did not have enough information. "He's got a swollen foot right now so that's not good," he said. Johnson's foot got caught under the weight of A.J. Hawk and twisted awkwardly as the Green Bay linebacker dragged him down from behind in the fourth quarter Sunday of the Packers' 33-22 victory. He was on crutches as he left the stadium. "The severity of it, I don't know because I'm not the doctor," Edwards said. "As far as I know right now, it will be very difficult for him to play this week." Fantasy Take: LJ has been a dissapointment this season for fantasy owners, but picking up Priest Holmes could be a good option. Holmes did score against the Packers in the short time he played (4th quarter).
