The Indianapolis Colts are a likely landing spot for free-agent safety Eric Berry, who sat out all of last season. Berry is a former All-Pro with the Chiefs, but he's played in just four games in the last three years, including the playoffs. The veteran safety tore his Achilles in the first game of the 2017 season. Berry was released by the Chiefs last offseason. He "did have offers" to play last year, but he wanted to ensure he was fully healthy. "I've seen tape of him, and he looks great," Trotter said. At this point in his career with all of his injuries, Berry is no sure thing for any team. He probably won't be an every-down player anymore either.
Former Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry, who did not play at all in 2019, plans to play in 2020 after intentionally taking the season off to rest his body and mind. Berry was cut by the Chiefs in 2018 and has only played in three games since 2016 due to injuries and a bout with cancer. The former first-round pick in 2010 has 14 career interceptions and five touchdowns and could provide a team with a veteran presence in the secondary in 2020. However, it remains to be seen if any team will take a chance on the veteran moving forward. Berry is unlikely to be an asset in IDP leagues if he gets picked up by a team.
The Kansas City Chiefs released safety Eric Berry on Wednesday. The veteran All-Pro played in 89 games (87 starts) in his nine seasons with the Chiefs. He has 440 career tackles (372 solo), 5.5 sacks, 14 interceptions (five touchdowns), 51 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Berry is a five-time Pro Bowler but he played in just three games the last two seasons due to injuries. The Chiefs are making a concerted effort to get younger this offseason on defense.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Eric Berry (heel) should make his 2018 season debut next Thursday in a big divisional matchup with the Chargers. Berry practiced for the second straight week but was inactive in Week 14 against the Ravens. His return will be a boost to what has been a weak secondary this year, but it shouldn't deter those that own Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains inactive for Week 14 against the Ravens. Running back Charcandrick West is also a healthy scratch after being signed last week. Berry has yet to play in 2018 but has been practicing in recent weeks and is getting close to making his first start of the year. That could come next Thursday in a big divisional matchup with the Chargers. Berry's presence in the secondary will give them a boost whenever he finally steps foot between the lines.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 14 against the Ravens. Berry hasn't played all season but looks to be on track to make his season debut this Sunday. While the veteran will likely have his snaps limited if he sees the field, his presence would be a notable boost to a secondary that has struggled without him all year.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains inactive for Week 13 against the Raiders. Berry returned to practice for the first time this year this week and has a shot to return next week against the Ravens. KC's secondary has given up a ton of yardage and points this year and should see a boost when the veteran Berry returns to close out the season. Oakland's offense has a good opportunity for garbage points this week, but only tight end Jared Cook is worth starting for fantasy owners.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) reported to the team's facility on Tuesday with the intent to practice this week, according to sources. However, it's still up in the air whether Berry will actually make his season debut in Week 13 against the Raiders. The veteran safety hasn't played at all this year and played in just one game in all of 2017, too, so it remains to be seen how effective he'll even be if he returns to the field this year. His presence in KC's weak secondary can't hurt, though.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Browns. Berry hasn't practiced or played in the regular season and doesn't have a timetable to return. Don't be surprised if he doesn't make it back at all this year. KC's secondary has been vulnerable all year without him, but it remains to be seen if the Browns and rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield can take advantage of it with an injured and inexperienced receiving corps.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) will be listed as doubtful for Week 6 against the Patriots on Sunday night. What's new? Berry hasn't practiced or played at all in the regular season, and there remains no timetable for his return. A Chiefs secondary that has given up big plays all year could be shredded on Sunday night against quarterback Tom Brady and a healthy Patriots offense.
