Police said the surgeon added she is optimistic that he will be able to walk, talk and move as he did before.
A spokesperson for the Carrollton Police Department said Sunday Holloway's condition is still listed as critical.
She said Holloway is still in ICU but improving. He is able to move both hands and feet and hold a cup and drink through a straw on his own, the spokesperson said, and doctors are pleased by his progress.
"All of his scans came back with positive news with no evidence of spine injuries nor broken bones," Sgt. Meredith Browning said. "His color and vital signs are 'perfect.'"
Holloway was one of three law enforcement personnel shot during a police chase on Monday in Carroll County that ended with one suspect dead. One surviving suspect in the case remains behind bars being held without bond.
