At 10 PM Central NBC News led off with a story about news on RB Priest Holmes. Jack Harry, Sports Director for that station reported that he spoke with two higher sources within the Chiefs organization and they have said that Priest Holmes indeed may retire as early as tomorrow. In Florida today, Holmes was getting a 3rd opinion on the hit he took from SD DE Shawn Merriman two weeks ago. Apparently what has been found is a lump on or within Priest's spine and if he were to take one more big hit, he could face paralysis.

I'd wait for a better source. Jack Harry isn't the most reliable journalist in the KC area.

Right now Holmes in in Florida getting a 3rd opinion on what we're speculatiing to be some sort of spinal injury. The Chiefs organization has been very hush about what's going on.

justafiably so, but none the less..... if his career is in jeopardy... don't be surprised to see him gone for a few games if not the rest of the year if he doesnt retire
