Holmes out for remainder of the season
Priest Holmes' season is officially over.
FOXSports.com has learned the Chiefs have placed Holmes on injured reserve, ending his season.
Holmes has been out with an MCL sprain in his right knee, and recently teammates and coaches have started to wonder if he would play again this year. That question has put to rest.
Holmes first suffered the injury last month against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has missed the last four games, and Kansas City is 1-3 without him.
Derrick Blaylock and former first rounder Larry Johnson will fill in for the rest of the season.
Blaylock rushed for 186 yards in his first career start in Week 10 vs. New Orleans. And last week, Johnson ran for 118 yards and scored twice in a win in Oakland.
The Chiefs, however, are a more potent offensive team with Holmes in the lineup. In eight games, he rushed for 892 yards and 14 touchdowns. As a receiver, Holmes caught 19 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown.
