The Kansas City Chiefs placed tailback Priest Holmes on the injured reserve list yesterday, ending his season.
Holmes had missed the Chiefs' last four games because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee and was not close to returning to the lineup, Coach Dick Vermeil said earlier this week. The club originally had hoped for him to return in two to four weeks.
Chiefs running back Priest Holmes is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
