A timeout with Priest Holmes.(HANG TIME)
On his head and neck injuries
I feel pretty good. I'm in great condition. What was recommended to me before I go forward with football is that I take some time off, have a few more tests done and then make a decision on the future.
On when he will make a decision about his future
Well, within the next 60 days I will undergo two tests to take photographs and get images of the neck area. After that (I'll meet) with the doctors, getting their advice, getting their opinions. The individuals I've been working with are very reputable. And along with the doctors' advice, the team has even suggested that I have these tests done. There's not a rush right now. Everyone knows that I've been placed on injured reserve.
On whether potential paralysis is a concern
No. That is not a risk at all. And that's not even anything I'm thinking of. I think that it is hard for an athlete like myself to look 20, 30 years down the road for any possibilities like that. Right now, I'm really focused on finding out some of the results and then being able to get on with more football.
