HOLMES RE-INJURES HIS NECK

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Chiefs running back Priest Holmes, thrust back into a starting job due to the foot injury suffered by Larry Johnson, reinjured his neck on Sunday against the Colts.

Holmes, per Glazer, has met with a series of specialists, and his career could be over.

Holmes initially suffered the neck injury in 2005, when he was hit by "before" Shawne "roidman" Merriman.

updated: PRIEST TO CALL IT QUITS

A league source tells us that Priest Holmes will announce his retirement from the NFL during a Wednesday press conference.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network, citing an unnamed source, has a similar report.

Holmes re-injured his neck on Sunday. The neck originally was injured in 2005, and he was out of football for all of the 2006 season.

The former holder of the single-season touchdown record is signed through 2009. The Chiefs presumably could attempt to recover some bonus money from Holmes, but to do so would be a bad P.R. move.

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."

Holmes' career may be in jeopardy

With running back Larry Johnson already on the shelf with a foot injury, the Kansas City Chiefs may have been hit with even worse news.

Running back Priest Holmes may have re-injured his neck in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, FOXSports.com has learned. Holmes returned from a nearly two-year hiatus earlier this season, an absence that was also a result of a neck injury.

According to sources, Holmes was dinged two or three times on Sunday. The last time came in the fourth quarter, which saw him leave the field in a wobbly state after his 20th touch of the game.

As a result, Holmes saw a specialist early this week and will see a series of specialists who can help him better determine his future. In light of the fact Holmes is already returning from a neck injury, this latest scare certainly has to raise questions, not only about this year, but about the future of his career.

In 10 seasons, Holmes has rushed for 8,172 yards on 1,780 carries and 86 touchdowns. He also has 339 receptions for 2,962 yards and eight scores. He scored a then NFL-record 27 touchdowns in 2003.
