Glazer: Priest re-injures neck retiring tomorrow
 

Is this true?

From PFT

That's what I thought happened.

There go my plans for a highlight film. :deevee:

damn.... the bennett trade is looking worse now.

I haven't read it anywhere...

that would guarantee 6-10 finish. hope not for the Priest's sake

Well good thing I picked up Selvin Young.

Jesus. This can't be. Lenny said he took off his helmet after being tackled by the head, but I didn't know it was serious.

Time to trade for Ricky Williams.


Edit: Yes, I realize the trade deadline has passed.

Didn't he come back into the game?

I think I would have an injury too if I had to keep running in to a brick wall due to pathetic ass predictable as hell playcalling.

From a pure football perspective, it is, but this team doesn't need a stack of RBs. Granted, with no LJ and Priest, they need someone, but I'm fine with going with Kolby f'in Smith because this year is a building block. Bennett doesn't help that.

Only way I'd prefer Bennett than the draft picks is if the draft picks are awful, but they should be half-decent.

Whitlock: "Priest faked an injury so he could quit on the Chiefs again and not have to deal with a bad offensive line and an even worse offensive coordinator."

fyp

Consider the source(s).

Kolby Smith gets 20 carries a game, and even better Brodie Croyle gets 40 passing attempts.

Not to desentimentalize Priest, but it is what it is.

Kolby, are you ready?

Jay Glazer is one of the best and reputable NFL reporters around

I wouldnt be shocked if it were true. Supposedly CP told Priest this year to either come back or retire. How hard would it be to come back, say your neck hurts again, and continue collecting your paycheck? I hope thats not true but I wouldnt be surprised.

Kolby gets 20. Derrick Ross gets 10. And fumbles three times.

fucking figures. :shake:

Tell Carl to ring up Derrick Ross.

And remind him to hold onto the damn ball this time.

Is Derrick on our practice squad?

It looked serious at the time, he didn't just brush it off. I hope like hell it is not the end though.

I won't believe it until I hear it first from Nick "The Erroneous One" Athan.

Or until I hear it from Hack Harry.

not cool

Teicher (sp?) is on 610 and just said Priest is going to get 20 to 25 carries. No mention of injury, whatsoever.

That's a lot of trips to the nacho stand.

This story just broke so it will be interesting to see if this is true.

I wouln't be surprised, on the hit in question where he was hurt, he stiffened up right after he was hit, on the ground, and you saw his hand move up in the air in kind of an involuntary motion. It lookied like the numb feeling he was describing might have come back.

Looks like his head slammed into the back of Kennison's back.

How could someone in the national media come out with something like this when nothing was even mentioned in the local media, Herm's presser, or the official lackey-powered team website?

Would you settle for Goatse?

Credit Herm and Curls for this one.....

Nice Job Herm and Curls you pathetic AssHat's

That's the way it always goes around here. I get more news from C.P. than any sports site.

Dammit, I hope this isn't true. I know we were not exactly tearing up the league but I liked seeing 31 back on the field. :shake:

I know which play this would be related to and I think Priest freaked out a little bit. The guy wrapped Priest's head in his arm as he tackled Priest. Priest immediately took himself out of the game and was then seen with his helmet off on the sidelines. He did return later in the drive (or maybe it was the next drive, he was out for a little while).

I felt the whole game (this is the only game I have seen since Priest came back) that Priest looked tenative and possibly even scared of getting hit. I do not believe he has any confidence in his body to take a hit or to recover from it afterwards.

Time to take the Diapers off.

Yeah. That's the one Lenny mentioned. Not the one where he slammed into the back of Kennison's back.

Oh, and meanwhile from our buddies at PFT:

L.J. HAS LISFRANC INJURY?

A league source tells us that Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was evaluated by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte on Monday for a mid-foot fracture/sprain known commonly as the Lisfranc injury. The only question was whether or not Johnson would need surgery to repair the condition.

The Lisfranc injury is a fracture and dislocation of the joints in the midfoot, where a cluster of bones come together to form the arch. It was first discovery by French doctor Jacques Lisfranc de Martin, who was a surgeon in Napoleon's army.

Our friends at Rotoworld.com reported on Monday that the Chiefs are expected to "shut down" Johnson for the rest of the season. The team has since declared him to be out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Lisfranc injury has become more common in the NFL over recent years. Most recently, the Colts lost defensive end Dwight Freeney for the year due to the same condition.

NO SURGERY FOR L.J.

A league source tells us that Chiefs running back Larry Johnson will not need surgery to repair a foot injury that he sustained several weeks ago.

Credit your mother for being related to your father.

You mean after the defender tackled him by the opening in the front of his helmet?

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRREEEAAATTTT............

What now?

When it rains it POURS!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We at least have to get him a TD. Then he can crack his neck again.

How much worse can things get?

Well considering we Hired Herm... Not much...

Hmmmm ... the Star is reporting this ... but not as stridently.

"The Chiefs were aware of the report, and Coach Herm Edwards said, “Priest got dinged in the game in Indianapolis. He did return to the game before eventually coming out. We’re evaluating him, and we’ll see where it’s at (today).""

I won't believe it until I see him eating Nachos in the Luxury Box dammit.

Seriously I hope Priest is not hurt.

There isnt even another RB on the practice squad. Just a FB. This guy:

Maybe we can trade for Rickey (High on Weed) Williams.

Goddammit. I was afraid of that, as I'm sure all of us were, as soon as I saw that hit.

Combine that with the LJ injury, and I seem to be really good about being right about shitty things. It's like I'm John McClane in Die Hard 2 :banghead:

Even those two stooges that announced the game were surprised it wasn't a penalty. He was also tackled by the horsecollar at least once, but then we get called for it when it was only a jersey.

Yes but you will never get to say Yippee-Ki-Ay to King Carl.

Ricky was sucking it up in the CFL. Doubt he would do much in the NFL right now.

I think Kolby can handle it. The Oline sucks anyway. Maybe, just maybe, we can start passing downfield more.

ROFL

He's the same guy who said Tony G was about to demand a trade.

Report: Holmes re-injures neck, future unclear
 

By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star

Priest Holmes
Johnson out for Chiefs-Raiders game
The Chiefs may be operating out of an empty backfield on Sunday.

Literally.

A few hours after declaring running back Larry Johnson out for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, a report emerged Tuesday evening on FOXSports.com that Priest Holmes re-injured his neck during last Sunday’s loss at Indianapolis, and his immediate future, if not his career, could be in jeopardy.

That would leave rookie Kolby Smith, a fifth-round draft choice with 10 carries for 19 yards, as the only running back available unless the Chiefs add a player this week.

The Chiefs were aware of the report, and Coach Herm Edwards said, “Priest got dinged in the game in Indianapolis. He did return to the game before eventually coming out. We’re evaluating him, and we’ll see where it’s at (today).”

Holmes carried 19 times for 55 hard-earned yards last Sunday and gave way during a third-quarter possession to Smith _ the only other running back on the active roster. But Holmes carried twice in the fourth quarter before Smith re-entered the game.

Holmes, 34, suffered a head/neck injury on Oct. 30, 2005 and sat out the rest of that season and all of last season before making a comeback during training camp. He was activated for the Oct. 21 game at Oakland, took over for an injured Johnson against Green Bay and started the last two games.

He has carried 46 times for 137 yards and has caught five passes for 17 yards.

Johnson will miss his third straight game he has missed since injuring the foot in a 33-22 loss to Green Bay on Nov. 4.

Where is Ross when we need him?

Unproven though it may be, it wouldnt surprise me one bit.

That tackle he took in the gif. looks just like the fall Michael Irvin took at Philly that ended his career. His head was at a downward angle & slammed into the hard fake turf. It looked very bad.

Anyone accusing Priest of faking something should pull their head outta their ass, it was an awkward & ugly fall directly onto an already fragile neck.

It probably scared the hell outta Priest & i wouldnt blame him at all for questioning his ability to continue.

This IS a game, not life & death.

Is Derick Ross on another teams roster? You have to take what your can get.

REPOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL I mean R-E-P-O-S-T

DAMN!! TSOPER (Backwards) :)

This was a repost, oops. From Covitz however.

Fantasy alert! Kolby Smith just became hot property!

is Derrick Ross on another team now? if not Ray Farmer must get on the phone

The tackler was very agressive with Priest's helmet. Did you see the way Priest looked at him when he got up?

Herms youth movement goes to a whole nother level. Sippio must be unleashed.

How about Casey Printers? Herm could solve all of the Chief's problems with him. No passing required, he could protect Brodie on the bench etc.

McKeith is actually who they're bringing back. I think that's what i read a few minutes ago.

We should convert Tamarick Vanover to RB.

Yep, he basically put Priest in a headlock & made every effort to drive his head down.

I know Herm hates it & penalties hurt...but just ONCE i'd like to see us whip (i mean good) someones ass on the field for stuff like this (Trent etc.)

Wheres Derrick Blaylock these days?

A Redskins third stringer. Another 5th rounder Chiefs couldn't develop.

I am with you on that! I am sick of losing these guys.
The old days, when players played because the loved the game. Now it is all about the money, not their team.

We shoulda just sent Turley out there like a hockey style enforcer & let him twist some bastards head off.

bam morris?

At least he would earn some of his keep that way, good idea! :D
