The Facts:
As previously noted, Holmes had hoped to be removed from the PUP list and take part in his first actual practice on Sunday. But with GM Carl Peterson out of town -- reportedly attending to negotiations with holdout RB Larry Johnson, Holmes' status remained the same. "It's not a setback. We just have to wait until Carl gets back in town," said Holmes. "I'm not sure when he'll be back."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If Holmes is activated but then cannot play, the Chiefs would either have to cut him or place him on injured reserve, explaining why Peterson might need to be consulted. "We don't want to be put in a situation where all of a sudden you take him off PUP and you start practicing and you say two days from now, 'I'm really not ready yet,"' Edwards said. "Well, that's OK for you but it's not OK for the football team. ..." Meanwhile, Edwards was caught in a somewhat embarrassing situation when he said Holmes was in the stadium during the Dolphins game only to discover later that he had flown home to San Antonio and not attended -- lending further credence to our belief that Holmes and Edwards aren't on the same page.
