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.

"The swelling continues to decrease in Larry Johnson's injured right foot. He is continuing to receive rehab treatments twice a day," Chiefs president and GM Carl Peterson said in a statement Tuesday.

Peterson said Johnson will see a foot specialist on Nov. 19.

"His playing status for this Sunday's game in Indianapolis has been determined as out," Peterson said.

Priest Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, had 65 yards on 20 carries in his first start in more than two years, subbing for Johnson in Kansas City's loss to the Broncos.
