bubba9497 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/10268502 click link for full article Holmes planning on joining Chiefs for camp Adam Schefter's "Around the League" reports and commentaries can be seen regularly on NFL Total Access. (July 25, 2007) -- Unpredictable stories go to training camp along with players. But none can be any more unlikely than this: While Michael Vick will not be at training camp, it now looks as if Priest Holmes will. Chiefs players are now telling each other that, after nearly two full years away from football to nurse a spinal injury, the 33-year-old Holmes has been given medical clearance to play and he is planning to participate in this summer's training camp. Running backs Michael Bennett and Larry Johnson, to name two players, are aware of Holmes' plans. Holmes' agent, Todd France, declined comment. There also are other strong signs pointing to a Holmes comeback. With camp kicking off Friday, Holmes still has yet to inform anyone in the Chiefs organization that he plans to retire. The feeling within the organization now is that he will attempt to resume his career. If he does, he would be on the field Friday, while the embattled Vick is not. "Priest is counting on our roster right now as an active player," one Chiefs official said recently. Nor does it seem as if it will change anytime soon. Holmes' return, if it indeed happens as now is expected, makes sense on a number of levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffSchmeff Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I wonder if it would be worth it to take a flyer on him in the late rounds of a Fantasy draft. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom [Giants fan] Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I don't think the Chiefs would trade Johnson based on Holmes coming back. He is not going to be able to carry the full load on a full time basis. He will probably become what Johnson was when Holmes was the primary back in KC.

Drex Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Holmes was a stud for the Chiefs and in his heyday, he was a joy to watch. I'd love to see him make a return to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I doubt Holmes sees alot of PT even if he makes a successful comeback. That said, having him in the NFL is a joy. He's a class act and one of the good guys. Welcome back, Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLostSkin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Cool, it'll be awesome to see Priest back in the game. But I agree with Tom as to what his role will likely be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 in the article it says he was recently cleared to play That's good for him. However, the neck injury that he received was quite severe. I hope for his sake, he doesn't receive another spinal injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The last time Priest took a snap for the Cheifs they had the best O line in football. He is in for a big surprise if he does comeback. I wish him luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
