Torry Holt joined the New England Patriots in the hopes of earning another Super Bowl championship ring. He won't have that chance this season.
The Patriots announced Sunday that Holt will miss the 2010 campaign because of an ailing knee that landed him on injured reserve. Since Holt signed a one-year, $1.7 million contract in New England, his days with the team -- and his illustrious NFL career -- could be over. Holt, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection in 10 years with the St. Louis Rams, ranks 10th in NFL history in career receiving yards (13,382), 11th in receptions (920) and tied for 27th in touchdown catches (74). He's fourth on the league's career list with 77.4 receiving yards per game. Holt, 34, spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who released him in February after he posted career lows in receptions (51) and yards (722) and failed to score a touchdown for the first time in 11 NFL seasons. However, Holt's 63-yard reception during a Dec. 13 game against the Miami Dolphins was the Jaguars' longest of 2009. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
