KSHB NBC TV in Kansas City is reporting that Priest Holmes has "very possibly" played his final game in a Chiefs uniform and could announce his retirement from the NFL as soon as Thursday. According to the report, further examinations revealed a lump on his spine that could lead to paralysis if he continued to play. The Chiefs have not officially confirmed the report and, as of Tuesday, were awaiting the results of a third evaluation in Miami.

There goes your fantasy line-ups. Looks like he has done a great job at running back and has given just about everything he's got, including his body.

It's very sad to see football players get so beat up like this. It happened to Terrell Davis, and now it seems as Holmes is going to have to follow.

He isn't retiring, just out for the rest of this season.
