Chiefs In-season Report

Here's more of the "we're gonna ease LJ into action" rhetoric...  From "The REAL Feed":
Chiefs' Edwards: L.J. to get light workload early
ESPN: NFL (05.09.2007 11:37)
Larry Johnson set an NFL record in 2006 with 416 rushing attempts. In the early going of this season, the Chiefs' top running back will see a lighter workload, however.
I'll believe it when I see it,... but,... who's behind LJ, Michael Bennett, is himself a semi-proven tailback, who has a little Priest Holmes in him, so...  he may just be worth a roster spot in deep leagues...

Chiefs RB Holmes Practices, May Play In Week 7
SI.com: (10/15/07 19:49)
Running back Priest Holmes, who hasn't played or practiced since October 2006, will begin practicing on Wednesday. Kansas City coach Herm Edwards did not rule out the possibility that he might play this week against Oakland.
I guess he's finally going to start praciticing. Maybe thats why L.J. finally got off his ass yesterday.

Brought to you by way of "the Gridiron Newsstand", an update on L.J. from NFL.com...
"No longer limping, Johnson says he will play again this season"
I wouldn't be penciling him anytime soon, though, and I wouldn't be counting on him to help me make a push for a championship.

OK, this stuff is worth watching. And it looks like Priest Holmes is expected to announce his retirement on Wednesday.
Here is the only OFFICIAL thing I have:
http://www.kbsd6.com/Global/story.asp?S=7390861
This is from PFT:
"PRIEST TO CALL IT QUITS
A league source tells us that Priest Holmes will announce his retirement from the NFL during a Wednesday press conference.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network, citing an unnamed source, has a similar report.
Holmes re-injured his neck on Sunday. The neck originally was injured in 2005, and he was out of football for all of the 2006 season.
The former holder of the single-season touchdown record is signed through 2009. The Chiefs presumably could attempt to recover some bonus money from Holmes, but to do so would be a bad P.R. move. "
Good journeys, Priest. I hate the Chiefs, but that is not about you.
