Priest Holmes

11/18/2005

Holmes is scheduled to undergo a couple more tests on his neck and spine in the near future. Based on the results, the veteran running back will decided whether to return to the Kansas City Chiefs next season or consider retiring from the NFL. He was placed on injured reserve shortly after suffering a concussion and head and neck trauma in a game against the San Diego Chargers on October 30, officially ending his 2005 campaign.

11/9/2005

Holmes will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign after being placed on injured reserve by the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday. The veteran running back continues to recover after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the Chiefs' loss to the San Diego Chargers on October 30. He's already sought several opinions on the neck and shoulder injuries he sustained as a result of the crushing blow. Larry Johnson will take over as the team's primary tailback going forward.

11/8/2005

Holmes traveled to Miami on Tuesday to seek a third opinion on the head injury he suffered in a loss to the San Diego Chargers on October 30. The Chiefs' running back, who originally was diagnosed with a mild concussion, did not practice with the team last week and missed Sunday's victory over the Oakland Raiders. According to head coach Dick Vermeil, there isn't an exact timetable for Holmes' return at this point, but the Chiefs are optimistic he could play this week.

11/6/2005

Recovering from the concussion he suffered last weekend, Holmes has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup with the Oakland Raiders. The veteran running back will be replaced in the Chiefs' starting lineup by Larry Johnson.

11/4/2005

Holmes continues to be listed as questionable on the Chiefs' injury report, but after not practicing at all this week, it is looking highly unlikely that he will be able to take the field against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. The veteran running back has been recovering from the concussion he suffered during last weekend's action.

11/2/2005

Holmes continues to recover after suffering a concussion when he took a shot from rookie linebacker Shawne Merriman in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers. As a result, the veteran running back did not practice with the Chiefs on Wednesday, and he has been listed as questionable on this week's injury report. Backup Larry Johnson took the majority of the reps with the first-team offense.

10/31/2005

Holmes took a shot from rookie linebacker Shawne Merriman in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers and was forced to leave the game with a concussion. According to head coach Dick Vermeil, the ailment is considered minor, and the veteran running back should be ready for the Chiefs' next contest. Prior to his departure, Holmes had just 38 yards on 14 carries. He has six rushing TDs on the season, but is averaging just 64.4 yards per game.

10/17/2005

Holmes was limited to just 18 yards on 14 carries in Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins, but he made up for it in the passing game, finishing with five catches for 100 yards. The Chiefs' running back scored twice in the game -- a six-yard run in the third quarter and a 60-yard catch in the fourth.

9/19/2005

Holmes temporarily was knocked out of Sunday night's game against the Oakland Raiders, due to a bruised his right shoulder. After evaluation and some minor treatment, the running back was able to return to the Chiefs' lineup and finish the game. He had 75 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries, while also hauling in three passes for 15 yards.

9/12/2005

Holmes picked up 85 yards and scored a touchdown on 22 carries in Sunday's victory over the New York Jets. The Chiefs' starting tailback split time with backup Larry Johnson, who finished the contest with 110 yards and two scores on just nine rushes.

8/15/2005

As anticipated, Holmes was able to play in Friday's exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings, but he was limited to just a couple of offensive series as a precautionary measure. The Chiefs' running back, who was out of action for a few days earlier in the week with a bruised leg, made the most of his time on the field, picking up 42 yards on just four carries.

8/11/2005

Holmes plans to play in Friday's exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings, but he's expected to be limited to one or two series. The Chiefs' running back was out of action for a few days earlier this week, due to a bruised leg. However, he returned to practice on Tuesday and reported no lingering problems.

8/10/2005

Sidelined since Saturday with a bruised leg, Holmes returned to practice with the Chiefs on Tuesday, although it was a limited indoor workout. The running back had no problems, but a decision on whether he plays in Friday's exhibition game likely won't be made until later this week. If he is held out, it will be purely a precautionary move. With Larry Johnson banged up a bit as well, Dee Brown could get the starting nod this weekend.
