Source: Chiefs star Holmes likely out for seasonESPN.com news services

Running back Priest Holmes, 32, is likely to miss the rest of the season, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com's John Clayton.

Holmes will continue to undergo tests on his neck and shoulder, but the source said his injuries are not believed to be career-ending.

Chiefs spokesman Pete Moris on Wednesday denied a Kansas City television report that Holmes had possibly played his last game for the Chiefs and could announce his retirement as soon as Thursday.

Holmes did not play last Sunday in the Chiefs' second game this season with Oakland, and Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said Tuesday that Holmes was undergoing a battery of tests to make sure he's neurologically sound after Holmes suffered a concussion two Sundays ago against San Diego. Holmes also is suffering from the aftereffects of a shoulder injury from the first Oakland game in September.

Vermeil is expected to update Holmes' status at his normal Wednesday news conference at 5 p.m. ET.

Now LJ is going to be the one taking all those hits and cheap shots Priest has taken over the years... people know if they can take him out they can finish us. Not a good deal.

If Holmes is out for the season, it's time for him to retire. Holmes does no good to KC if he's going to get hurt every season, and miss extended amounts of playing time.

LJ's chance may come sooner than expected. Nobody doubts his on-the-field ability, but he is a headcase off. Can he stay out of trouble long enough to do something good in KC?

I'm concerned about Priest's health and our RB situation, but when will Jack Harry be denutted for saying Priest was retiring?

This post looks like an intro or a monologue on a talk show.

Can he stay out of trouble long enough to do something good for KC? Find out after the break, I'm Dr. Phil.

He can carry the load without missing anything, but what if he goes down?

Good question.

Who is next on the depth chart?

CP should march into 810, tie Jack-ass down, and take turns shoving various oddly-shaped objects into his rectum.
