Report: Chiefs RB Johnson to miss Sunday's game

Thu 16th, October 2008

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson will reportedly miss Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Kansas City Star reported that Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards said Johnson broke team rules and that he will return for the October 26 game against the New York Jets.

Johnson, earlier this week, was charged with simple assault.

On Monday, the KC Star obtained court and police documents and reported a 26- year-old woman accused Johnson of using his open hand to push the left side of her head. Johnson faces a December court date for the incident, which occurred February 24 of this year.

This is the third time Johnson has been charged with assaulting a woman since he came to the Chiefs, though both previous charges were dropped. The latest incident could bring Johnson a jail term up to six months and a $500 fine.

Johnson has run for 417 yards and three touchdowns this season for the Chiefs (1-4). That includes a 198-yard, two-TD performance in their lone win of the season, 33-19, over Denver on September 28.
