Safety Eric Berry, coming back from cancer treatment, cleared to practice with Chiefs

Good news in the NFL for a change. Berry's one of the good guys.


Nearly eight months after he was officially diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, Chiefs safety Eric Berry will return to the practice field on Wednesday.

The team announced in a news release Tuesday night that Berry has been cleared to practice on Wednesday with the quarterbacks, rookies and injured players.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid and head trainer Rick Burkholder will address the media following Wednesday's practice. Berry will address the media at 1 p.m.

Last December, Berry, 26, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, which accounts for about 10 percent of lymphoma cases and is considered to be highly curable.

Heard about this on the radio yesterday. Good news for him.

First Stevie Johnson dives at his knees, then this. Happy he's back. Would love to see him return to form.
