Doctors found a lump near his spine and said one more hit could paralyze him. :(

Geez, I hate seeing great athletes getting horrible injuries. Damn it! :crying2:

WHAT!!!!!!!! Priest is only my most favorite player, EVER. But you already knew that. :D

Thats unfortunate, especially when that athlete can still be considered one of the best in the league. Good luck, Priest. :thumbsup:

Priest Holmes' Career May Be Over

November 9, 2005

Insiders at Arrowhead Stadium tell NBC Action News Sports Director Jack Harry that Priest Holmes, very possibly, has played his final game in a Chiefs uniform. One highly placed source tells Harry, Holmes could announce his retirement as soon as Thursday.

The 32-year-old running back arrived back in town Tuesday night from Miami after undergoing some extensive testing on his spine. Doctors reportedly found a lump and should Holmes take a severe hit, he could become paralyzed. At his weekly press conference Tuesday, head coach Dick Vermeil indicated he didn't really know what was going on with Holmes.

Holmes has already undergone three knee surgeries. He has failed to finish two of the last 3 seasons. He suffered the head injury in the San Diego game, and has now learned of this latest problem with his spine.

So very sad. A guy that wasnt drafted to become one of the best RB's for a few years in the NFL. A great story with a sad ending.....

Chief fans must be very sad by this. I have a friend that's a Chief fan, I wonder how he's handling this news. Going to suck if Holmes retires. It was just two years ago when he scored 27 TD in one season and became the elite RB of the NFL. This is really a sad thing to see him go. :(
