per Garrett in PC, Looks like Holloman will not be playing again

[BrAinPaiNt]

Said it looks like he will not be playing football anymore. Says Holloman will talk about it later.

 

[Gaede]

That really sucks for him. But it could be a blessing in disguise: health comes before anything

 

[LatinMind]

yup he's done.

   Garrett said it looks like DeVonte Holloman is done playing football. Doesn't want to speak for Holloman in detail about it.

[Zordon]

Just sickening....remember just a year ago how excited we all were about this kid.

 

[perrykemp]

What a shame for Holloman.

 

[IrishAnto]

That's a bummer!

Can we get a break with this D?

 

[LatinMind]

That's a bummer!

Can we get a break with this D?

was he starting?

 

[IrishAnto]

was he starting?

He was in the final game last year against Philly.

One of the few defenders we had that seemed to have a nose for the ball.

At the very least he was depth.

 

[xwalker]

was he starting?

He had a high probability to be one of the 2 Nickel LBs. That was 61% of the snaps last season.

 

[reddyuta]

I feel this was coming,Broaddus hinted about it last year.

 

[LatinMind]

He had a high probability to be one of the 2 Nickel LBs. That was 61% of the snaps last season.

was he? from reports out of camp lately all theyve been saying is Rolando and Carter have been getting the snaps. Where u get this hollomon idea idk.

 

[StevenOtero]

This is one case where I wish my source was wrong.

http://cowboyszone.com/threads/holl...etting-2nd-opinion.296669/page-2#post-5635583

Seems like not only season ending, but career ending.

 

[cbow44]

Thats just a shame for the kid. But as someone else said, your health comes first.

 

[XDez88BeastX]

this really sucks, I really liked Devonte & he gave me at least some confidence in our LB depth.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Just sickening....remember just a year ago how excited we all were about this kid.

Agree, really bad news but happy that this injury was diagnosed before something serious happened to the young man. From the sounds of it he may have a future in coaching.

 

[CyberB0b]

Saw it from someone on Twitter named nflcharean. Anyone heard anything official?

Edit:looks like I'm late to the party, sorry.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Can we get a break with this D?

how much more break do you want than thats already broke?

 

[erod]

Sean Lee is coming off a serious neck injury, too. Another one, and he's likely done, too.

Neck injuries for linebackers are bad news.
