| 7th August, 2007 - 6:41 pm |  FoxSports - Priest Holmes remains stuck on the little boys' field with a couple of other physically unable to perform (PUP) players on the Kansas City Chiefs. He still hasn't put on the pads, so he hasn't been hit. Holmes hasn't played pro football in over 22 months, but he wants to make a comeback and says he's working hard. "I'm digging ditches out here," he said. "I'm not eating nachos if that's what you think."
Granted, there remain skeptics on his own team if Holmes can make it all the way back. He's 34 and he left the game because doctors feared he risked paralysis due to a narrowing of his spinal column.
"I wasn't here last year because of the possibility of me being paralyzed," Holmes told FoxSports.com. "But now doctors are telling me that my MRIs are definitely better. That I have improved. But because of malpractice lawsuits they won't tell me it won't happen again. They won't make it 100 percent." [READ] |
