CHIEFS HAD NO CHOICE IN PUTTING PRIEST ON NFI

A league source explains to us that the Kansas City Chiefs were required by rule to put running back Priest Holmes on the non-football injury list. Even though he is still recovering from an actual football injury, the fact that the injury wasn't suffered in 2007 or in 2006 makes it, by definition, a non-football injury.

The source says that Holmes' status is "the same thing" as if he were on the Physically Unable to Perform list. If so, this means that Holmes must miss at least the first six weeks of the season.

Though teams are not required to pay players who are on the NFI list, the source says that Holmes will receive his weekly game checks.
