Holmes Could Back Up Johnson This Sunday

ESPN - Priest Holmes went through another impressive workout on Thursday, and the Kansas City Chiefs appeared to be leaning toward activating the 34-year-old running back.

Attempting an improbable return to the NFL after being out for 22 months, Holmes had his first practice on Wednesday, and coaches said they would pay particular attention to how he did Thursday.

"He was still fresh, wasn't sore," coach Herm Edwards said with a wry shake of his head. "He went through practice, had a good practice."

The Chiefs seemed to make roster room for Holmes this week when they traded Johnson's backup, Michael Bennett, to Tampa. But Edwards said he still had not made a decision whether Holmes would play Sunday at Oakland. It would almost certainly be in a limited role behind starter Larry Johnson. [READ]
