Jason King, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes (neck) did not practice again Sunday, Aug. 19, despite saying he would return to the practice field that day. He did work alone on the sidelines. Holmes said his return was delayed because team president/general manager Carl Peterson was out of town. He said team physician Jon Browne wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page before Holmes hit the field. However, head coach Herman Edwards said doctors gave Holmes the OK to take part in contact drills. Edwards said he had a long talk with Holmes and Holmes hinted he wasn't in good enough condition to return. Edwards then called Holmes not practicing a "collective decision" to leave him on the PUP for the time being. Holmes also was not present recently at the team's game, instead opting to go spend time with his family. Holmes said it was excused by the team but Edwards said he wasn't aware of it.

Randy Covitz, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes (head, neck) said Saturday, Dec. 16, his extended layoff from football this season has allowed him to get back into great shape and have an opportunity of returning to the National Football League in 2007. "Having this extended time off is giving me an opportunity for any swelling or fluid levels to become very stable, so I think I'm in great shape," Holmes said while attending the memorial for team owner Lamar Hunt. "What was needed was some time off. Having an entire 12 months without contact has put me in position to be able to make a decision in '07 whether I should return." Holmes, however, will continue to take his time before making a final decision on his playing future.

"He's had his latest medical exam. He's making progress. We might give him another one in a week or two. But he does not have to be here to remain on PUP for the next three weeks. He doesn't want to be here and take away anything from this football team. He knows if he's here, he's creating a problem in regard to media attention and so forth."

Elizabeth Merrill, of the Kansas City Star, reports the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to move on without RB Priest Holmes (neck), arranging a trade with New Orleans to acquire RB Michael Bennett. Bennett arrived Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 2, in River Falls, shook hands with head coach Herm Edwards, and headed off to a physical. What happened a few days before that in another medical exam may have clinched the deal. Holmes was evaluated by spinal specialist Robert Watkins late last week and again wasn't cleared for contact. Back in San Antonio Wednesday, Holmes' trainer, who's helped him come back from hip and knee injuries, said he hasn't seen Holmes in two weeks. "I'm in limbo," Bremond "Bay Bay" McClinton said. "I've been trying to call him, but he hasn't called me back. He must be doing it on his own, because I haven't seen him." Chiefs' president/general manager Carl Peterson said that nothing should be read into the fact Holmes isn't in River Falls with the team or that Holmes still isn't medically sound to play more than nine months after suffering a helmet-to-helmet collision in San Diego. He said tests showed Holmes' condition is improving.
