NFL: Chiefs' Larry Johnson to miss Sunday's game

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Larry Johnson will not play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, a one-game penalty for violating team rules.

Kansas City coach Herm Edwards on Thursday refused to specify what rules the two-time Pro Bowler violated. But Edwards did say it had nothing to do with the charge of simple assault filed against Johnson this week.

A 26-year-old woman accused him of pushing the side of her head with an open hand at the Grand Emporium Saloon on Feb. 24, telling her "don't touch me" as he made his way through the club.
